It's silica gel so it might be cheaper to buy bulk! We don't need the salt but would need a purple dye.

Not forgetting Glowshop which is just down the road from me so I can pick anything up: www.glowshop.com
Might have a pop down there on Monday if it's open to the public.
I think that Gelli Baff stuff might do the trick better than silica. It's designed for the job and you can turn the gloop back into water afterwards which is far more useful for disposal.

Avoid Silica Gel if you can, there are some health implications with it.

Was having a play aound yesterday with Balckcurrent Jelly , Food dye, Glyercin ( got some from work), flour , luminescent paint and other things. Teenage daughter thought it was well amusing, as she is the resident expert on purple .
Made some interesting gloops, although if I want ot fill 50l worth of drums will need a cheaper alternative, Stephen's bath balls looks good .
( Note word bath)
Will check them out and alos have a look at UV paints and black lights .
Have got some large lab jars, test tubes and boiling tubes on the way from ebay / blagged ( only spent a tenner) so we should have a cornucopia of lab stuff by April .
Once I have got gloop sussed I'll look at the body parts bit of the equation !
Guy, I'll grab some of that Bath stuff tomorrow and check it out. Will report back on it. Might even video it for you!
