   I too have always been a bit scared of friendly plastic.

   How hard is it to use?

   Friendly plastic is lovely to use, addictive but lovely. ‘Messy’ creative things appeal to my boys and my 11 year old especially loves friendly plastic. You can heat it in hot water, use your heat gun or if you have an electric griddle you can heat it up on that. I prefer the hot water method, simply cut a piece, pop it on a piece of foil, dip it just under the water (i have a portable electric ring which i put on its lowest setting and the water stays a constant 60 to 70 degrees, leave for 30 seconds or so and then you have soft mouldable plastic to cut out / prod / poke, squeeze etc etc. Have cold water on hand pop your creation in and its set! If you make a mistake / it cools down too quickly just re-heat. Also keeps EVERY last scrap, even the black horrid bits – you can heat them up to make beads etc and use transfer foil to brighten them up – i’ll post more pics soon. Myra
