Crazy Aarons Thinking Putty

There are a couple things that bother me about this. For months I've been playing with a piece of blue-tack that's about the size of a cherry, and decided to get something specifically meant for fiddling. I chose this product in the Scarab color because I love colorshift. Well - in the first place, the colors are only visible in direct sunlight. In interior lighting (LED or incandescent), or on overcast days, it appears a shiny medium blue-grey. The color wasn't my prime reason for purchasing, but it is enough of a disappointment to drop a star. Secondly, this is much softer than the blue-tack was. If I form the blue-tack into a ball and walk away for an hour, it holds its shape. But if I form this putty into a ball and walk away for an hour, it softens into a flat puddle. I mistakenly left it on the arm of my upholstered chair and it kind of melted into the fabric. If I hold it in my hand (getting distracted while I browse the internet or something), it softens and conforms to the skin on my hand, picking up all the folds and lines, and is a little difficult to remove. This is why I dropped the second star. I also did find it difficult to open the can but that's minor because once it's open, it's staying open. But, if I had this to do over again, I would have bought Silly Putty, which holds its shape and doesn't melt. I may yet do that.
