Liquid Glass Putty

I bought the Liquid Glass planning to put tiny .177mm faux jewels into it, but it did not work as I had planned. (Still fun) Crazy Aaron's Thinking Puddy is really great stuff and made in the USA. I found that I like to fidget with it when I'm working. Great stress reducer. The only issue I have had is the liquid glass seems to be made out of a slightly different material and it does not stretch as much as the other varieties and it instead wants to rip apart. I currently have about 2 dozen cans of different varieties and the liquid glass is my least favorite. Scarab and Triceratops puddy by Crazy Aaron's are my favorites. I can't wait to find more varieties.

This review is in two parts, first Thinking Putty, second the individual color review.Thinking Putty - This is basically silly putty. Same feel, texture, material (silicone, which doesn't dry out), etc. What is different though is that you get a lot more then those small and even big egg shells. You get 1/5 a pound, or 3.2 ounces. Basically the tin covers your entire palm area easily. Although the tin is half full so it isn't too hard to put it back in.The other difference is that these come in much better colors, well unless you like the coral pink of silly putty. These colors make Thinking putty special. You can get all the primary colors, red, white, black, blue, green, etc. OK, those aren't hard to imagine. Then there are metallic and electrics. These I believe have mica in them. They are shiny and have swirls slightly darker and lighter colors. I say slightly. Think of a pearl or dull metal. Then there are the color changers. The use heat to change color to a lighter version of the color. Cool to return to the original shade. And the glow in the darks. One color during daylight, another at night. And these do no use the glow material they used 10-20 years ago. This is more expensive but glows some 10X longer. And then there are two special colors. Magnetic, which is slightly or slowly if you prefer magnetic. And glass, which is clear.For more on these, please see other reviews.Is thinking color kids? No. Give them silly putty. It is cheaper. If they love that, then give them this. Also this is called thinking putty because it is for adults to mush around while they are thinking. Or think of it like a stress ball.----------Liquid Glass. I just got this a day ago, so this review is mostly first impressions, a little playing with it. Let me get to the point, I love it. This is my favorite thinking putty so far I have three).This is clear, like glass when you get it. In fact when you first open you may feel the tin is empty. You can clearly see the bottom of the tin. But look closer and you can see little air bubbles or the top glossy surface. I mean this stuff is crystal clear as glass. First thing I suggest you do is press your thumb in the top. It is neat to see your finger print pressed into glass.I have heard the old version of this was stickier then the other "colors". I didn't notice much difference. But then again maybe if I let this sit in my hand and warm up a lot it might. I actually spent most of the time playing with it in the tin.I do wonder how it will hold up with a lot of play. Other colors if you get dust or a hair in it it is not a big deal as it will get buried and you won't see it. But with this, you see everything. So you might want to divide up the match and only play with 1/2 or 1/3 and keep the clear for non hand holding... Remember, I have only had this a day so I don't know how it will hold up for clarity. Of course it should still be a putty like any other.I do notice that liquid glass is more liquid then the other colors of putty. Over night it will fill the bottom of the container, where other colors will flatten out but not fill out or even have a nice smooth top.Also note that if you play with this putty in your hand it will get cloudy with your finger prints. But after a few minutes it will clear up again. Also you will see how many air bubbles you add to it by playing.For me, I like glass, I love watching the glass blowers, etc. I love this thinking putty. Liquid glass is my favorite and I plan to get more.

Interesting and fun. A great gift for anyone really! Long lasting. Great stress relief or fidget toy

I bought one to try it out since it caught my eye and was surprised why it was delivered in a huge box.. turns out these folks accidentally sent me six of the same clear slime by accident😭 I mean a steal is a steal!! I just got six for the price of one!!!

I got this for late diagnosed autism. I'm trying out different fidget toys to see what works best for me. I had 3 major issues with this putty. I got a large tin of liquid glass putty, split it into 3 pieces, kept one out to fidget with--AND...1. Promptly lost it on my bed. LOL. Maybe go with a color because this stuff really is clear! Found it later in the floor.2. I's pretty sticky which wasn't quite the texture I was looking for. I'm hoping to find something similar to Silly Putty but a bit softer. This definitely isn't it.3. The tins are incredibly difficult to open as well. The putty gets in the cracks of the tin and seals it shut. I first tried the travel sizes and ended up throwing one away because it was too sticky and I had to pry it open with a screwdriver.
