A receptacle for bad hair day thoughts, office supervisor's observations on your work, and your mother-in-law on the third day of her visit. It is clear vinyl, 8" x 13", punched for a 2-ring binder and has (8) pockets each sized to hold a 6" strip of 35 mm film negative. This last attribute will be as exciting to the few A.S.&S. devotees who do not have vivid imaginations as it was to the folks at 3M who made the product and thought that was it's only use. Our "each" totals (10) pages with space to hold a grand total of 320 negatives exposures. Is a negative exposure a coverup??

90069 BOX FOR 100 SLIDES |
The instructions with this chrome-plated ladder thing 2-1/8" x 24" long say you wire flowers to it or poke fabric through it to make a garland, but it's cooler than that. Slightly curved, with 1" between rungs, it's a natural for a hamster ladder. On its side, it's a great fence for a toy zoo. Slick chrome kitchen? Hang it with drying herbs. Laid belly-down, it sits there and rocks and amuses you - but then, we're very easily amused.

91770 ALUMINUM DISSECTION TRAY WITH WHITE WAX |
Microscope glassware for examination of blood, pond water, mold, and other minutiae. All of the microscope slides are optically clear glass 26mm x 76mm (about 1" x 3"), between 1mm and 1.2mm thick. The well slides, of course, have a concave well to hold a drop of liquid. Our each is a package of (12) well slides, or a box of (72) standard slides with ground or beveled edges. Cover glasses are the smaller and very thin pieces of glass used as the top of the glass slide sandwich. They are often used temporarily by simply dropping them onto a drop of liquid to flatten and spread it and to minimize evaporation. More confident microscopists will cement them in place to permanently preserve a specimen. Our each is a package of (100) cover glasses 18 mm square, #1 thickness (0.13mm to 0.17mm). If you need one, you need both.

Incredible stuff!! And even better than those dinky cutouts you used to make! Our each is a pack of (8) 8" x 10-1/2" shrinking plastic sheets that start clear and stay clear. Draw a design, write a message, create a sign, whatever. Cut it out, bake it in a 350° oven for about 3 minutes, and it shrinks to 45% of its original size. Problem with certain pencils and markers on the slick sheets? Try a light sanding (320-400 grit) before writing on it. (The surface will be more opaque.) What a fun way to make small errors become insignificant!

We have 1/8" plywood cut into shapes up to 8-3/4" tall that were supposed to sell as picture frames. Well, of course they didn't sell. Each is a crafty design with suggested details (and with an almost-die-cut center punch-out) better suited to be a Christmas ornament, Easter decoration, etc. So far we've seen a teddy bear, duck, bunny rabbit, cat, unicorn and Christmas tree. You bring a little sandpaper, paint and imagination, plus a few simple tools, and you'll dazzle everyone with your talent. You'll get at least (2) different designs in your pack of (3).

This clear cellophane tape is twice as sticky -- it has adhesive on both sides! It's flat, like that narrow tape that comes with the famous plaid label, but it's 3" wide. The roll is 21-3/4 feet long on a 1-1/2" core. Great for bigger jobs.

They call it the "Krazy Cutter" and it's going to make your life a whole bunch easier. It's a little 2-3/8" long x 3/16" thick teardrop-shaped paper slicer with a teensy rust- and dullness-proof ceramic blade that magically cuts through paper and plastic. Perfect for clipping newsprint, cutting wrapping paper, and opening deviously sealed packaging, including the heavy stuff if you press a bit. Even CD cases. The krazy part? Won't cut your fingers or anything else. You could run it right over your hand, press down and everything, and nothing. Really. We tried it on some expendable employees. You know what this means? You can take it on airplanes, which further means that when you get to the coast you'll actually be able to open all the packages full of the stuff you sent ahead.

So you can decorate it, you crafty thing. This tan-colored papier mache mask is 8-3/8" tall x 5-3/8" wide at the eyes, pretty much the size of your average human face. The side curves around so the mask is 1-3/8" deep. The material is 1/32" thick and very sturdy. Not crafty? Left unpainted, the mask has a certain spooky charm.
