Hey Don,

While the product looks very interesting, I'm not at all sure I
followed your post about where to find this material, but after a 20
minute Google, I came across:

http://www.kelvin.com/

which appears to be an educational supply company. Only quantity they
show is 100 grams at $7.95 or 1Kg at 69.95 US$.
And somewhere in the search, it suggested another name: "Shapelock"

http://shapelock.com/page2.html

Less expensive than the Kelvin site.

Seems Amoco have something to do with it. Makes sense.

Be worth checking on sometime Monday.

This plastic is almost certainly polycapralactone. Dont get it too hot as it
becomes sticky. Similar materials are used as glue in some glue guns.
