That is very good news, indeed!  While I think the motivation may have to 
do with the lost time associated with waiting (and waiting, etc.) for the 
plastic to emulsify, the end result will be more malleable...particularly 
over time.

Blew me away!  Of course, the hammers had all sorts of lovely things 
growing in, on and around them - but, the sound was not all that bad.

Pheh! on the plastic.  PHEH!

Glad you are here!

Best.
