I was sent a jar of Thermomorph recently.
It sat on the kitchen table staring at me whilst I looked online to find out what I could do with it.
It’s very easy to use: you simply tip some of the plastic beads into boiled water and wait for them to melt and coalesce into a gloop that you can mould and manage. If it gets too hard, dunk it back into the water to soften and carry on. I stirred a whole bunch of Hama Beads into one blob and used a bowl as a mould to make a tealight holder: an easy take on our Diwali lights we made a couple of years ago.
I also used a small amount to make a repair to the bowl of my Magimix, which is holding well so far.
But where the Thermomorph magic kicked in was when LBG and Dimples were in full Loomband Discovery Mode. The loom hooks that come with them are small and don;t feel very strong. When you are starting out, this is not helpful.
But in a few minutes I had made a customised loom hook, fitted to their hands: I just moulded some plastic around the handle of the Loom Hook and rolled it to a sensible shape, then each girl held onto the firming plastic so it was specific to their hand shape.
And LBG thinks it’s the best loom hook ever.
*Disclosure: we were sent a jar of Thermomorph for the purpose of writing this post.
Wow that sounds like amazing stuff, what a clever idea. I often get pains in my hands after looming, I wonder if something like that might help because i wouldn’t be gripping something so small?!?
It has real potential @MummyMatters!
