I've also used it for filling thin tubing so it can be clamped in a chuck,as well as for making tight bends in small tubing, as a removable core for casting two-part plastics, I've also been told of people plating copper or other metals to the surface, and melting it away, leaving a thin formed part for use.
I has one of the shop leakers who always went through coffee like it was free, so one day, I made a spoon out of Wood's alloy! The look in his face was priceless, seeing half a spoon in his hand! It got better when I took it from him, took a sip, and said, "Damn. Needs more spoon." and tossed in the piece he had in his hand!
After that, he left our coffee pot alone!
