If I remember right (and I may not, because it's been years since I've manipulated any of this absurd pliable matter), Silly Putty pretty much holds it's shape at room temperature. If that's indeed the case, then something like this would be entertaining for forming disposable sculptures. It's like sculpture-based Etch-a-Sketch. Of course with a lump this big, gravity is a consideration.

If it's shape-retention is as high as I remember, then I'd actually be tempted to buy a blob of this stuff for occasional sculpting. If a shape emerged from the putty which is worth preserving, I'd simply snap a few digital photos before clearing the canvas. I could have a whole website dedicated to my silly putty sculptures!

If I had the spare time, I'd SO buy a wad of this stuff.
