I'm planning on using it in my 3 point setup which will be attached to my headphone/microphone headset. It's granular plastic material that becomes hand mouldable at 62C. You can hand form practically any object and at room temperature, it's as tough as nylon. http://www.mutr.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=550 Apparently, it's biodegradable on contact with air, so maybe painting it with an oil based paint might be in order.

AND when rolled into rods (with the wires inside) you can glue them together with the same stuff. support FREETRACK developers, the do it FREE for you -HELP them/yourself help others. -another fun DIY thing to do, works with Free-Track too, HAVE A LOOK

It's painfully hot to touch while soft. Polymorph is just about holdable while it's soft. Washing up gloves help a lot. In the end, I didn't use polymorph, but it's fun nonetheless.
