On only a slightly related topic... I once mixed up some Alumigrip with catalyst in a Dixie-cup and touched up some paint with a watercolor brush that was chipped on a Hawker. After I finished, I set the Dixie-cup on a shelf and the next day peeled the wax-cup off the solidified Alumigrip. It was a hard-rubberlike cylinder-shaped object. It bounced like a SuperBall. (Recall those?) Except with that wild shape it had absolutely no predictability.
