construction:materials:thermoplastics

I have recently come across a very nice plastic for working with. If comes under several names. Shapeloc and Polymorph http://www.c-d-c-shop.com/polymorph.htm

It is a Thermoplastic that will become plyable at 62C and then sets to a harness that is equivelent of nylon. Very easy to use and mold into any shape/mask/muzzle etc. To make minor changes just rehard that sections and work on it.

Hopes this helps.
