On my word, what progress
on the packaging side. It used to come in a large lump, coiled like a snake
about to strike - and the coils were separated by thin pieces of translusent
paper that didn't separate it at all. All the paper did was to tear into small
pieces and stick to your fingers as you kneeded the compound to make it warm
and pliable. Then they put it in a tin which required you to dig it out with
your fingernails and an old (or new) screwdriver and that did those who
favoured reasonable manicures a power of good.
But maybe I'm talking of the
bargain basement UK bulk packaged version where convenience and ease of use
didn't even enter the product scenario.....
