I would go with "bin it"

I think from the adverts you cover stuff with it so it becomes garish and ruined forever covered in big bubble things!

yea "bin it" is the right answer

Bin the floam! Floam is very bad news. Even doting Grandma who lets dc do what they want couldn't hack the floam.

Oh, it is HIDEOUS stuff. Ds1 was given some once. I got rid of it when ds1 said he liked the smell. Goodness knows what it was doing to his brain.

And we never worked out what it was for.

Yes, throw it away. It's rubbish! Although my dd loves it - she covered all her dolls in the stuff!

karen999 · 07/01/2008 12:43

I have to say that she made a lovely job of covering one of her mugs....although we could never use that mug again. She got hours of fun out of the stuff but I thought it was just another thing to get trod into the carpet!

ok.... over riding opinion..... get rid of it!!!! might donate it to play group!
is cover stuff with it really the only thing you use it for????

we used ours to cover an old tupperware box and a dalek. then bits fell off so we binned it. it also stained carpets.

TrinityRhinosDhWonHerAnIPOD · 07/01/2008 14:45

it stains
sometimes it never dries properly so is always sticky
you have to pick what you cover carefully cause you can't wash, use or enjoy that thing anymore...
I binned our very small tub shortly after she covered dd2's fave tiny pooh bear figure
'I thought it would be easy to get off mum'
well it wasn't and I binned it as it came off

good luck with that
