Hey guys, I discovered the video today. It is basically a play-dough like material that makes hard plastics.

Here is the website: http://www.plastimake.com

I can see this being insanely useful in repairing and replacing plastics. I know many people who own a Data East Hook Machine,such as myself, talk about the difficulty in replacing plastics, and I think Plastimake is a great alternative. I think one would be able to even mold new plastics with this, though I'm not certain. Ive never tried it before. I just thought Id bring this to everyones attention.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Wonderful Product, I have been using for years!
My favorite is to heat up and form over a Flasher Dome.
While its warm I pull off, and it hardens into that shape.
I then gently heat again.
From there, I push and pull, and have made snow covered flashers for WH2O
Flame looking ones...whatever you like!
Cool stuff, and worth playing with.

That sounds awesome! Do you have any pics?
