WoW,
see, this is why i like rtlToronto,
within a few hours of my post, I got a mail from Oliver, suggesting a
few products to remove the Silly Putty, and I just happen to have some
WD-40.
Sure enough, it worked like a charm.
Pneumatic tubes are safe, and putty free, and I took the time to take
the kids to the dollar store, to each get them there own separate
coloured putty.
Now, If I see yellow, or pink putty in my lego, I know who to blame.
Thanks Oliver.
Chris
