Silly Putty "Bigg" Egg

#1 Post by AZ »

I've been using Silly Putty for years for masking, having learned about it here at the Clubhouse, I believe.

Some years ago, there was a thread about bulk Silly Putty (5 pounds).

http://theclubhouse1.net/phpBB3/viewtop ... 9&t=100054

Well, like Goldilocks, 5 lbs was too much, but those tiny red eggs are too little. I recently discovered a quarter pound "Bigg" Egg at Walmart for about 5 bucks that's just right. For me, it's certainly a better deal than buying a bunch of tiny eggs. Compare a Bigg egg and a regular one.

Cool.
I forget now if it was eBay or Amazon, where they had the option to buy a bunch SP Eggs and a "bulk" price.
IIRC I got 10 eggs for cheap. But that was a long while ago. This looks like a good deal as well.

Just got this (actually, I got 4 -LoL)... $5 each.
I did a comparison by weight, and the Bigg Egg
is the equivalent to 10 regular ones, so it is a
substantial savings, where 10 reg eggs would
be $15 at suggested retail price.
