of course you can put a skewer in playdough/potato, have you never had cheese and pineapple on sticks that are planted into a potato covered in cling film

Not stuck into a potato, stuck into a melon or half a pineapple yes but no never a potato, that's not very nice appearance wise is it.

The playdough I'm too afraid of it making the skewers all yucky.

playdough would only make the skewers a bit colourful, wouldn't be sticky

Yeah it might do I will have to test it first though I'm still thinking it's not strong/supportive enough because the entire thing is going to be top heavy.

I'd have guessed somewhere like Homebase or B&Q would be the best bet, but I'm not sure, I've never went in there looking for it
