Seeing this product, I immediately thought i could use it as a kind of over-head gunge tank, so i ordered one and it arrived today.
I mixed up a bucket of natrosol and suspended the bowl above my bath using string (tied to its handles). I removed the plug (which you need to twist and to release the contents and would have been impossible to if i was sat beneath it and used some waterproof duct tape act as a stopper). I filled the bowl with gunge (it held almost the entire bucket load).
I got underneath, tore the tape off and got slimed VERY slowly. Unfortunately, i didn't take into consideration that the size of the hole (which is about that of a 2p coin) vs the thickness of my gunge (and i like it very thick).
So next time, i'll be using a runnier consistency, but i can't wait to use it again! I found it for about 24 quid on amazon, but i've linked to this website because it shows better photos of the product and how it works.
It's made from a very strong, hard plastic - almost like resin. Really good product and is amazing for home gunge tank fun!
Interesting product but if you are putting tape on the bottom to stop/release the slime then couldn't you use any bucket with a hole drilled at the bottom? You could us a much large bucket and drill a large hole and then use super strong tape like this as a stopper: (best infomercial ever! the guys cuts a coat in half then tape it back together. And since they did it on TV you know it's real!)

I did a very similar thing with a bucket, a spade bit, a wine stopper and some rope (which I also used to keep my hands restrained, while being able to pull the plug out!)
Now wondering if I could 3D print some kind of release mechanism for gunge from a bucket or tub? The spout could be designed to deliver the gunge over the right area and flow, and only a single moving part would be needed. If it got clogged up it would take pennies' worth of plastic to print another one, way cheaper than industrial valves.
