Hi all
Does anyone know where I can purchase soft soap? My tutor has advised we start to make models of our insects, I've made an initial model from fimo and now want to progress on to make a further model from aluminium as was also suggested. I haven't got aluminium but do have a stash of lithoplate which I can shape and super glue together. I've read on an old aeromodelling forum that to anneal lithoplate or aluminium you should rub it with soft soap then heat it gently with a torch until the soap bubbles and turns black. I know soft soap is a green gloopy substance but have never seen it on sale anywhere... any suggestions?
Thanks V
