Wonderflex

A couple of costumes I'm thinking of doing would need wonderflex. Having never used it before, I don't know where to get it... Could someone please tell me:

a) how to get it
b) what else I'll need in order to work with it

Thanks! ^_^

I believe you can get it here:

From what I understand, you'd need a heat gun, or you could use boiling water to heat mold it.

I've only worked with PVC plastic, so I don't know much about wonderflex, but here's an intro to it!

wonderflex is really nice, but be careful if you live in a hot climate. It is made flexible with heat, so if it is hot outside, or in the trunk of a car, and you're using it for something that doesn't have a stiff frame underneath the wonderflex, it can and will deform itself.

Really all you need to shape it is a hair dryer and time and patience, but a heat gun, which gets hotter than a hair dryer would probably cut the time down, but may up the patience factor.
