(I wasn't alive back then but I found an ad for it in an old magazine and thought it looked fun!)

It is sealed in original box. The box reads "just twist a wire, dip it into Whimsy Dip, make a pretty thing." I will be selling it on e-bay. search by seller missymazza Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Plastic for Crafts Post By Elke (Guest Post) (02/08/2008) In the Netherlands, Belgium and France this liquid varnish is called VITRIFLORE. It comes in various colours, high gloss and satin. You can order it via a Dutch finternet Hobby-Shop.

My daughter bought me a butterfly of this type last year, which renewed my interest in trying this craft.

Went to Micheals and isn't really like what I have seen and it is painted on the wire, not dipped. Don't think that kit will work.

Editor's Note: I think it is because the fumes are toxic and they outlawed it in the U.S. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Plastic for Crafts Post By Patti (Guest Post) (07/10/2007) I also found in the UK and couldn't get it shipped here.

Can the person who found the liquid plastic there please give more info? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Plastic for Crafts Post By russ (Guest Post) (04/16/2007) It was fantastic and I too am seeking this stuff. It was, back in the day called form a film. The only place, as many of you know, to get it is in the UK and they will not ship it here (the USA) so I guess if we want to make this happen we will have to form a buying group and find a way to get it here on our own. If you would like you can write me at soulbreeze4 AT hotmail.com and put in subject line form a film so I do not delete your message. We can and will find a way to get this stuff. let me know.

It was purple and looked like a little paint can. When you google Whimsy dip there's a posting from someone talking about how it was pulled off the market due to toxicity and burns.

I have spent a few hours looking for this product today and about 10 years prior to that. My mother used to make mobiles out of it and I used to poke my fingers through the great colors... (Mom wasn't happy about that.) This was back in the 60's, and my guess is there has to be a new product like it, since I also think it was banned due to the carcinogen components. Any help finding this product would be soooooo great. You can see what it is by typing in "fantasy film". Should bring you to a pretty cool site that shows all the neat things you can do with the stuff. Thanks for the help.

I have been unable to find anywhere in the US that has it and I can't find the name of the manufacturer to contact for it either!!! I HAVE found what you're talking about, Dip It Fantasy Film and it's exactly what I need. Do any of you know where I can get it? Thanks.

I used to love making those flowers! I found a little craft kit for my girl, but the wire shapes laid in a little mold and the liquid was painted on. So the liquid is still available - I remember it being alittle toxic! I suggest checking out a craft store that's been around for awhile - I'm sure they could help you - good luck!

It comes in satin and high gloss finishes. It may not be the same product you are talking about, but it might serve your purpose.

Oriental Trader is a wonderful source for many things, especially if you're buying for groups. And VERY inexpensive. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Plastic for Crafts Post By (Guest Post) (03/11/2006) Thanks for the responses. Everyone I talk to seems to remember this craft, but no one knew what it was called. Does anyone know where in the states this can be ordered? There is a similar product, but no dipping cans. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Plastic for Crafts Post by Katie A.

I never saw it after that time period, until about 5 years ago. Wal-mart had it in their craft section. I never looked at the can to see what it was, but remember walking past and it catching my eye. I considered buying it at the time, but decided I didn't have time for crafts right then. Hope you find out what it is.

I forget the name of it too, but I do remember how much it smelled before it dried ! ! I also remember how much fun I had making these flowers. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Liquid Plastic for Crafts Post By guest (Guest Post) (03/09/2006) I don't know the name of this (sorry) but thank you for the lovely memory. In the 60s, I was a girl scout and my mother took on the task of troop leader. She purchased this plastic flower making "goo" as a craft project for the troop. I remember one of the plastic colors was a deep violet. We used green florist tape to cover the wires that were used as stems, which we attached to the flowers after they dried. I think this stuff was a pretty potent chemical. My guess would be that something in it has been banned as dangerous, or as a carcinogen. Report Spam or Abuse
