That's a really nice creation. Well done! But I'm having a lot a trouble fully understanding what it was that you did!

Hi Will! When I was at Legoland, I was so surprised to learn that they used MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) as a "glue"! I used to use MEK to clean the screens used in silkscreen printing. MEK is some NASTY stuff! Extremely flammable and you don't want to (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
