Funnily enough I just did - now have to weed out all the pages about cannabis

ooh yes sorry im so ,derhhh never thought of that lol

The Double Decker kids on TV, Why Dont You, Charlies Angels, Alvin Stardust, Spacedust, Abba, Hectors House, when I was a bit older watching the Professionals, couldnt miss it. I could go on for ages on this one.

But can you tell me the name of the resin-pouring-make-your-own-paperweights-thingy?

I always thought I could rely on the bottomless well of Mumsnet knowledge. I think I may have to sulk instead

Vesta curry. All dried, just add water...

Ford capri with black hatchback driven by a boy you fancied

national health specs in pink or blue.

Do you mean that stuff whre you made a layer of clear then put something in and then a layer of colour. My brother had a set and immortalised his baby teeth !! My mum still has some creations in her nick-nack cabinet. Plasti -something I think

LIZS - YES! thats the stuff. This is getting silly now, I really should find something useful to do with my time - but it is driving me mad! Even if I find the name of the stuff, I doubt that they make it anymore.

ok bro dont know but says you can get it in craft shops tho

Really? I did try our local craft shop last year - but the young twenty something behind the counter looked at me as if I was crazy and tried to sell me some Plaster of Paris stuff and moulds.

I shall try again - I now have an insane urge to make lots of little paperweights with silly things caught inside

the resin stuff was Plastikraft
Can you still get it, I want some
I thought the yoghurt maker was a weird aberration of my mum's .. glad to know we were not alone drinking that rancid milk stuff (with a blob of JAM in teh middle ueeeh)
Goblin Teasmades ..

Don't think so - I don't remember having to bake it. We mainly made paperweights - you poured a bit of resin, put some colour in and let it half set, then poured another layer and put a flower or whatever in and topped up with more resin. Stuck little bits of felt on the bottom so the finished thing didn't scratch.

I was only little tho (the stuff was bought for my sister) so maybe I am remembering wrong.

wild - thank you. Thats the name I thought of in the first place but couldn't track it down so assumed I was wrong.

no I am sure that's it, snugs, I was a fiend for those paperweights, everyone had them for pressies. I have not seen it anywhere since. Probably it was far too toxic for a recreational market!

Have searched on plastikraft and mainly get golf bags!

Found fond memories of plasticraft from other people but sadly, no way to track it down to buy.

I do remember the smell was rather heady - bit like sniffing marker pens at the back of class!

snugs? you worry me what you wanna put in the resin?? you had row with dh or partner???nice pair of earings!! lol
