Recipe - Dryer Lint Modeling Compound

3 cup Dryer lint (save up your own
or ask at a laundromat)
2 cup Cold or warm water
2/3 cup Flour
3 dr Oil of wintergreen
Old newspaper

In response to several requests I am posting the following recipe. Although
this is not an edible recipe, I suppose it qualifies for this list since it
uses some flour. BG

Put lint and water in a large pan and stir to dampen all parts of the lint.
Add flour and stir thoroughly to prevent lumps. Add oil of wintergreen.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture holds together and
forms peaks. Pour out onto several thicknesses of old newspaper to cool.
Makes about 4 cups. Stored in an airtight container, it will keep for
several days. USES: Shape over boxes, bottles, balloons, and so forth or
press into a mod. Use as you would papermache. Will dry in 35 days to a
very hard, durable surface. It dries smooth or rough depending on how it is
used. When pressed into a mold, a hard, smooth finish is obtained.
