ABSTRACT:
The invention is a moldable, buoyant composition comprising sugar, resin and EXPANCEL.RTM. microspheres, or the like. When the unexpanded microspheres are heated, they expand to increase their volume about 50 times. Blends of 2-10 parts microspheres to 100 parts sugar and resin result in expanded compositions with densities of from about 0.20 g/cc to about 0.35 g/cc. A convenient way to expand the blend is to place it in a conventional microwave oven at a "high" setting for from about 15 to about 60 seconds. The result is a low density, moldable putty which may be colored with fluorescent pigments and wrapped around a fishing line to make a highly visible fish strike indicator. Hydrophobic silica may be added to the composition to further increase its hydrophobicity.
