| Subject: | Re: Equivalent of Silly Putty in UK? |  |

Nope not Play Dough (Multiple World-Wide spellings) or Modeling Clay...
Silly Putty is just a pink plastic clay..... the oils in it allow for
removal of inks from your newspaper comic pages. When warmed in hands it
becomes very soft. Takes nice simple impressions.
The stuff is available world wide at about $1.50 US..... Wal-Mart's
worldwide have it in their toy departments. You have Wal-Mart's in the UK I
know... I've been to a few...
