Now tht's a great idea! I plan on using this as i check the ham-hams things. Thanks!

Or papier mache. You just have to use plain paper (no inks residue) & again a safe glue or traditional flour & water paste mixed in to the paper pulp to make it hard. I've used this to fill gaps in draughty old floorboards - like caulking the timbers on a boat.
