I'm just curious...moving parts are available in sandstone now- How do you do the superglue infiltration and keep the parts moving? Like if you have some sort of ball in a cage situation, how do you keep the ball from sticking to the inside of the cage? After all it's not just any glue- it's a SUPER glue.

I know Nancy and the rest of the team were real busy this weekend (had to deal with me and tons of future customers). I'll nudge Nancy to see what she says.

Haha, well first, we don't use superglue. The solution has superglue-like qualities.
Second, the solution dries very quickly, so we just make sure the parts are moving while drying, which only takes a few minutes. This prevents the parts from sticky to one another.
Hope that demystifies things!

If you are hiring, I would move to Holland to spin parts- I love the fumes.

Haha, no need! The new formula actually is much less toxic to work with.
