			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This tip is courtesy of <a href="http://www.justbananas.com/">Jana Ewy</a> who took the time to write the <a href="http://www.amaco.com/">Friendly Plastic</a> Encyclopedia which is available on the side bar of the blog.&nbsp; We continue to grow in readers who are new to Friendly Plastic so these basic techniques are good reminders to all of us, whether we are seasoned FP'rs or just in the beginning stages.&nbsp; What do you need to know when purchasing Friendly Plastic?&nbsp; And, after you purchase what's the best way to store it?&nbsp; What if you've purchased a dreaded SNAPPER???? Read on for Jana's tips:<br />
<br />
<i>Friendly Plastic® has a shelf life if not properly stored. Exactly  what that shelf life is, is unknown, with so many determining factors to  be considered. The main points of this section is to help you purchase  fresh Friendly Plastic®, suggest a few storing options, and share a  little trick for reconditioning old Friendly Plastic®.</i><br />
<br />
<ul><li><i><strong>WARNING:</strong> With the renewed interest in Friendly  Plastic®, a lot of old product is re-surfacing like buried treasure and  being put up for auction. Buyers Beware!</i></li>
<li><i>&nbsp;</i></li>
<li><i><strong>Purchasing</strong> – When purchasing <a href="http://www.amaco.com/shop/product-426-friendly-plastic-metallic-sticks.html"  title="Buy Friendly 
Plastic Designer Sticks!">Friendly Plastic®</a>, you want to make sure the plastic  is fresh. You do this by giving it the flex-test, simply give the stick  a little bend, it should flex quite easily and then straighten back  out. If it snaps in half, you guessed it… it’s a SNAPPER (old plastic).  This is where ordering on-line can be a problem. My suggestion is to  make sure you are ordering from a reputable dealer. Try to resist  de-stash bargains and auctions. You want a guarantee that the plastic is  fresh, be sure the dealer offers this.</i></li>
<li><i>&nbsp;</i></li>
<li><i><strong>Storing</strong> – Keep your plastic in a closed container or  zip-lock bag, when not in use. This seems to be the trick to longevity.</i></li>
<li><i>&nbsp;</i></li>
<li><i><strong>Reconditioning</strong> – If you have SNAPPERS (old plastic),  all is not lost. Old Friendly Plastic® can be reconditioned. Here is  how: Place the sticks on a nonstick pan and either place the pan onto a  griddle or into an oven, temperature set at 200°F (a heat tool will not  work). Allow the plastic sticks to soften completely. Remove the pan  from the heat and allow the sticks to cool completely on their own. DO  NOT run them under cold water. Once they have cooled, remove them from  the pan and check the flexibility. Hopefully this has done the trick. It  is not fool proof, but it does work most of the time.</i></li>
</ul><br />
