Glow in the Dark Thinking Putty
Squash 'n' Glow
3" and 4" tins available
Thinking Putty is completely unique and now, thanks to Firebox, you can own a tin packed with around 90g of the stuff, ready to put to work for whatever cause you see fit.
Remember: there's very little that can't be achieved with a tin of Thinking Putty and the bare minimum of effort:
- It bounces...
- It stretches and squishes...
- It lifts print from newspapers...
- It snaps, crackles and pops...
- It shears and tears...
- It melts and drips...
- It even shatters!
Thinking Putty is perfect for stress and tension relief, as a desktop or office toy and as a cure for boredom. Watching people react to Putty is truly a unique experience. Maybe you just look at it, hesitant to touch something that might be "sticky" or "gooey". Perhaps you aren't comfortable playing with a toy in front of your workmates? Eventually, though, your subconscious wins over, it'll be in your hands, and you'll never put it down! Squeezing, stretching, and shaping. You won't even realize it's there! As it melts your stress away your creative potential will be unleashed!
...Once you pick Thinking Putty up, you won't put it down.
How does it do that?!
Thinking Putty is a dilatant compound, (which means it becomes solid under the influence of pressure), and it displays four different properties on four different time scales:
- At very long timescales, it behaves like a liquid spreading out onto a flat surface.
- At moderate timescales, Thinking Putty stretches like a plastic solid.
- At short timescales, it bounces like an elastic solid.
- At very short timescales (the impact of a high-speed projectile), Thinking Putty simply shatters.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What am I supposed to do with Thinking Putty?
A: There are so many potential uses we couldn't possibly list them all, but here is a suggestion to start with: Bring your new Thinking Putty to work and leave it on your desk. You'll find yourself tearing off a handful and using it to relieve stress while your brain ponders infinite creative possibilities. Soon after, you'll find your own unconscious energies breaking through - creativity you didn't even know you had.
Sculptures and Dali-esque designs will flow from your own hands and work may even be transformed into... fun.
Q: If I bring the Thinking Putty to work, will people think that I am incredibly cool?
A: Yes, they will. We (almost) guarantee it. Your coworkers will most likely try to steal some Thinking Putty off your desk. Thinking Putty in the hands of others creates uncontrollable and insane jealousy. Perhaps they will try to befriend you and weasel their own adult-size handful of putty from your personal supply.
Q: Then what happens?
A: Eventually you will probably want to order more Thinking Putty to feed the habits of yourself and your co-workers. (This is Firebox.com's plan for world domination). Shortly afterwards, you will become a self-proclaimed monarch of a new Thinking Putty fiefdom. Your office will begin to look like a Dali workshop with Thinking Putty dripping from the ceilings. The unleashed and unbridaled creative force of your workplace will make you all unstoppable.
Q: Is that true?
A: Well, you'll develop stronger hands at least. The rest is up to you and your imagination. Buy some Thinking Putty and see for yourself!

What I meant was: Why don't you sell the 4 inch krypton tin?Sam Leece, Weston-super-mare - 20th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi Sam, unfortunately we no longer stock the 4 inch krypton tin and we don't have any immediate plans to get more stock in. The reason? Just one of those mysteries of the universe!
Just wondering: 1) Why don't you sell the tin? 2) Can you recharge this stuff in the sunlight? and 3) Please can you get the other colours from the American site? (Aura, Amber and Ion).Sam Leece, Weston-super-mare - 18th May 2011
Is this radioactive?Robert Brookes, The House Of Shame - 19th April 2011
Firebox says: No, it's safe!
This is an amazing product and I would recommend it to anyone who always twisting there fingers. The product does exactly what it says and can relive stress but also open up a world of creativity. The product its self has superb packaging and was delivered punctually. This is a definite 6-10 stars for me a good product maybe little too much money but for the amount you pay and the time you will spend with this product the price is well worth it.Corey Moore, UK - 31st March 2011
I can remember buying this before on the US site its pretty cool. I wish I could find that site.Paula Rothrock, Pennslyvania - 6th March 2011
Firebox says: If you get stuck you can always buy it from our UK site.
WOW THIS THING IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!
this stuff rocks.Leif, Austin - 20th November 2010
Ordered the 4" tin of "krypton" and it arrived on my doorstep before I could blink...fabulous. Thinking this stuff should be great but then on opening the tin which wasnt sealed I find it only about a quarter to a third full!!! nearly £10 quid for a smear of this stuff which could have been put in a much smaller tin. . What huge disappointment.Tim Woodhatch, Horsham - 26th November 2008
Got some of this stuff because I thought it looked good and it's great. Highly recommended.Jack, England - 30th October 2007
I bought the glow in the dark putty and loved it. I took a small bit of putty off and gave it to my friends. After about 5 hours of playing it went gray and lost its glow. Is there anything to fix this? I hope so. Dissapointed with the usual over brilliant standard.Emily, - 22nd September 2006
Think putty is amazing. Ordered it Thursday, came Saturday - and at Christmas time too.
You have no idea how fantastically addictive this stuff is till you have some, and you have no idea how much willpower I needed to log onto the pc and write this instead squashing the stress away.
Get some and see for yourself, meanwhile I am deciding which colour to get next!Lee Davenport, Driffield, UK - 10th December 2005
