Hand molding material!???
« on: August 10, 2014, 01:06:18 PM »
Hi,
I am looking for a material that molds/gets shape with hand at room temperature and does not separate! Does such a material exist?
(By the way I am do not have physics background! and I hope I am in the right forum!)

Many thanks for you help :)

Anhydrous (or at least partially) alumina powder is sold for that purpose. Used much like clay, but is said to make more durable objects that resist heat. I didn't try by myself.
