Hello All,

I've been busy so only following this thread half-way, but what about
polypropylene pellets.  Phillips Petroleum Co., is/was headquartered in
Bartlesville, OK and they have a research facility which tests all
different types of plastic products.  For an exhibit I did last year,
they gave me as much polypropylene pellets (in a couple different
colors) as I needed.  It might look a little like corn snow, but you
would at least know the material is safe around objects and does not
attract bugs!
