And it's supposedly dirt cheap.

Living in Norway I just haven't been able to dig it up.

I haven't found a Norwegian name for it, I haven't found a good place to order it online.

Main problem is that the sources I do find either don't ship to Norway (Amazon) or they have ridiculous shipping costs ( eBay or elsewhere) And I never do find it priced at a few dollars which it apparently should be.

And often searches result in other kinds of more slimy putty in stead and I'm not risking messing up my paint job with those.

Blu tack would be better. I seem to recall from when I was a kid that Silly Putty is supposed to be able to lift newsprint and that wouldn't be a good thing on paint probably.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774413/10421096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774413/10421096.page GMT Silly putty - where to get it?

Over here in Germany it's sold under various trade names by various adhesive manufacturers, usually sold in DIY stores, office supply stores or supermarkets. I did a quick google and found UHU Patafix is also sold in Norway.

I have some metal models where I was unable to get blue have out of some cravices (a trolls arm pit) even after repeatedly chucking more blue tac in to drag it out, which sort of scared me. Also it feels really sticky, I'd be seriously worried about it pulling off paint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774413/10421221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/774413/10421221.page GMT Silly putty - where to get it?
