| Of the two methods to be tested in space, for fixing brittle reinforced-carbon material making up the wing edges, one involves a silicon-based puttylike substance to fill in cracks. |
| But others have small foam, plastic or puttylike nodules sewn into the fabric, allowing the shorts and the padding to bend more than traditional pads around the target area. |
| Rockets that use solid propellants, such as the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters, arrive with the propellant already stored inside them in a puttylike form. |
| The material to be processed can be in a relatively hard and stable condition and in such forms as bar, sheet, pellet, or powder, or it can be in a soft, plastic, or puttylike form. |
