[Mike Ashmore]

Ooh, put me down for $40 worth. Any idea when an order will actually be placed / delivered?

I might need to get this in a 20kg volume (that's right, I'm measuring volume in grams!)  That means a $200 purchase.  maybe more with shipping and distributor specific pricing, but I have it on authority that $10 a KG is not unreasonable.

It has physical properties of a very tough, nylon-like plastic that melts to a putty-like consistency at only 60°C. PCL's specific heat and conductivity are low enough that it isn't hard to handle at this temperature.This makes it ideal for small-scale modeling, part fabrication, repair of plastic objects, and rapid prototyping where heat resistance isn't needed. Though molten PCL readily sticks to many other plastics, if the surface is cooled, the stickiness can be minimized while still leaving the mass pliable.
