Composition 4-Silly Putty? I found this recipe, and I was wondering what everyone thought about it, whether its crap or good. I don't quite want to buy the materials if It doesn't work, so here it is!
12 oz. spackling putty or 20 packs of Silly Putty
1 container Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline)
Candle Wax
12 Oz. Isopropol (rubbing) alcohol
A heat source (hot plate, stove, etc.)
A large Pyrex, or enameled steel container
Flour or Corn Starch
24 Oz. cooking oil (Canola Oil works best)
1 package wire pipe cleaners
2 packages (2.8 Oz) clear gelatin
Place four cups of tap water in your Pyrex container, and begin heating it until it boils. Add the gelatin, and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat, and allow it to cool completely, then add 4 Oz. of cooking oil, and stir. You should notice a thin layer of solids beginning to form near the top. Scrape off the solids, and place them in a small container. Place them in the freezer.
Next, light your candle, allowing the melted wax to accumulate. In your bowl, mix the petroleum jelly, cooking oil, putty, and corn starch until well blended.
Now remove the chilled mixture from the freezer. BE CAREFUL. The mixture is highly unstable at this point. Add it to the compound in the bowl - the blend should have the consistency of ice cream. Stir in the mixture VERY CAREFULLY. After a few mins it will be done, then all you do is take a bit of it (the more you use the bigger the explosion) and roll it in a circle or make in a square or something, then stick a pipe cleaner in, when you light it you can throw it or light it on the floor but I would throw it, even though the fuse might fall out or go out it is safer.
I'm Not sure if its any good, but I wonder if anyone who has tried it and got a good result!
