When you try to pull silly putty apart at a normal speed, it will stretch, turn into a snake and fall in the middle. There is a way you can immediately tear it in half.
Steps
-
Hold the silly putty up evenly in both hands, at the level of your chin. Depending on how big it is, you will need to use more fingers. Make sure your fingertips for each finger on the opposing hands touch.
-
Pull in opposite directions really fast with both hands. Keep the motion quick, compact and strong.
-
Practice until you can do it on your first try with fresh putty.
Tips
- If you've had your silly putty for a long time, you may see hairs and pieces of carpeting sticking out at the split ends!
- You can also have your left hand go back while your right hand goes forward when tearing it.
