[edit]

Is this the same stuff also known as gimp ? Tuf-Kat 07:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

References to Napolean Dynamite is completely irrelevent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.84.53 (talkcontribs)

Is this the same stuff as rexlace? Is scoubidou round in profile and rexlace flat? I think gimp may = rexlace. Secretlondon 03:43, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I can't speak for rexlace, but this page is a near duplicate of gimp and boondoggle. Anyone up for combining them? Anyone in opposition? --Zachbe 17:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Agree. Gimp also has other meanings - it was a textile braid before it was plastic. It appears to me that these techniques derive from those used in leather braiding, which doesn't seem to have an article here. I would think an article on the craft would be best, with the various materials under a "materials" section. - PKM 00:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Phthalates

I just [1] flagged a comment in the intro section as citation needed. The comment is "In July 2004 German and Dutch research showed that scoubidou appears to contain an excessive amount of phthalates." A reference should answer the obvious question "says who?" and less obvious question "excessive according to what standard?" I have two questions to ask here, though. First, is that even relevant? Second, is it relevant enough to put in the intro to the article? — Bigwyrm watch mewake me 03:47, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
