Plasticine may be a children’s toy, but it is also a most useful adjunct to have somewhere In the house. It fills up any odd crevice, holes in plaster, nail-holes, etc., and will even arrest a leak in a gass-pipe. It is far cleaner to use than putty, while as there are various colours to choose from it makes a first-class dodget.
