<div>Hi!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i've been using a sort of that material, one called Polymorph made by slatec (<a href="http://www.slatec.com">www.slatec.com</a>).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's very easy to use, and very fun to work with.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hot gun's, hot water you can molde it, and can be reused.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i've used it once for recreating a part for a slider pot. it's very strong but very smooth to the touch.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>merry x-mas!<br> </div>
