Nostalgic Wednesday 1/2/13 *Silly Putty*

[Loveridden]

Each Weds I will post an old show, toy, product, song, or etc for us to be nostalgic about.

This Weds it's about Silly Putty!!! Remember the fun you used to have with it? lol

Silly putty can bounce, shatter, twist, copy print, stretch, etc.

Did you know that Silly Putty will dissolve and basically be ruined if it gets in contact with an alcohol. Guess it's strictly PG lol

Silly Putty has other uses too!! From Wikipedia:
[h=2]Other uses[/h] After its success as a toy, other uses were found. In the home, it can be used to remove substances such as dirt, lint, pet hair, or ink from various surfaces. The material's unique properties have found niche use in medical and scientific applications. Physical therapists use it for rehabilitative therapy of hand injuries. A number of other brands (such as Power Putty and TheraPutty) alter the material's properties, offering different levels of resistance. The material is also used therapeutically for stress reduction. Because of its adhesive characteristics, it was used by Apollo astronauts to secure their tools in zero-gravity.^[9] Scale model building hobbyists use the putty as a masking medium when spray painting model assemblies.<sup>[10]
