Its a good idea to Colour your PolyMorph first.


Heat up the PolyMorph and dry it off well - its easier to handle when dry.

Squidge and squash the PM into a disk, be sure to leave a bump of PM in the center of the disk, this makes for a smoother skin.

Then either hold it up to the light and stretch it slowly apart ........

or drape it over a glass ............ and stretch it down the walls of the glass

You can add grains to PolyMorph for added texture .....

Here are a few more of my experiments :-

I love playing with PM,it's an amazing product. Bio-deg and non-toxic too. I believe it's true that they are using it in medical procedures. Thanks for your demo Gareth (tack-tack) haha it's a joke ;-) Keep up the videos my friend.

There could be a whole new business out there for making stuff like this. ( Ripley,Ash & Kane would be top of my list  )

Did you know PolyMorph is used in Medical procedures for its Bio Degradable properties (i have even heard its used for internal stitches)

I take that as a compliment - puts Teenage "acne/zits/pimples" into another perspective.
