Ever wanted a ball of Silly Putty the size of your head? Well, now you can! The University Of Minnesota Chemical Department has posted the instructions on their website:

This isn't anything novel, Coffee; I'm certain that I've read those directions before this.

Yes, I forgot about the article. Sorry, had to leave, I hate posting in a hurry.

Yeah, this is pretty old. Were doing a similar (but in depth) lab on that in chem right now.

Going off of this:

It has better instructions, IMO.
