Silly Putty question

When you use it for a mask it will obviously get some paint on it.

Can you re-use the putty without the paint messing up the statue, or do you use fresh putty all of the time?

Nice, just what I wanted to hear!

Do you buy it online, or at a store?

Sounds like the Super Glue section.

Man thanks for posting that, I'm desperate for a strong glue, no adhesive so far can meet my need other than a few 2 parts epoxy but they're still pretty weak and don't even talk about the smell...

Going to look that up tomorrow!

Why doesn't anybody ever ask a serious putty question?

Ba-da-ching!

I went to the crayola web site and bought a 5lb box of silly putty. Costs like $70 but i think that box will last me 10 years. I had no choice cause the wall marts and targets near me only had 3 in stock every 5 months.

They also sell eggs of the stuff, which is smaller quantities but will be more expensive in the long run.
