Actually, you can get it for about $8 a pound, or less for bigger orders.It's made by Dow Corning as a generic product and they sell it direct in 50 pound units, but they have a minimum order of 100 pounds. That much of the stuff will cost just under $800 or so.To order: Call either 800-248-0248 or 800-248-2481 (not sure which) and tell the operator that you wish to purchase X pounds of "3179 Dilatent Compound", where X > 100. They'll probably transfer you to the chemicals division. Repeat your request, and order the stuff. They may accept credit cards now, but you used to have to set up a "cash in advance" account to pay for the stuff. After answering all their questions, they call you back with the exact price, including shipping and tax.It arrives in 50 pound boxes. Simple as that.
FYI i found a site to make your own homemade crap version:1/2 cup elmers glue (white glue you used to eat back in grade school)1/4 cup linit liquid starch (found in the laundry aisle at the store)food colouringmix it and s**t.. dunno if it works, but then again unless you have this crap handy, why not just buy the real deal??
This will be a "Michael Dukakis" (wearing ear muffs in army tank) memory for Google. First Google embraces the AOL culture, and now they dive into silly putty as harmless kids. The myth of Google's "do no evil" with AOL can't be patched with Silly Putty.
