I should have mentioned it is sticky as an sob until it sets up a bit! Got to use gloves or mix in a bag or with a stick or something. If there was a good process to mixing it this would be nice stuff. I've already made a few useful items with this.

man I'm really hoping this works because I use a huge amount of Grand Circuit's supreme support. But here's me playing devil's advocate: isn't starch a carb?? I mean would you put any other foodstuff under a pad and come back 6 weeks later and not expect to find a colony of new growth. Won't it start to ferment or something? I'm not chemist here...hoping Mr Stovall or one of the other guys that seems to have a good science backround can comment on this.
