Hey, learn something new everyday, I hope....
And "deity" I am not, just an apprentice. :D

Afterall, I dont have a wire named after me..... ;)
Got a related one for you. Take a bucket and put a plastic cup in it upside down with something on top of it that you want to develop fingerprints off of. (Nothing you want to keep pristine) Put a couple of thimblefulls of baking soda in the bottom of the bucket on some tin foil. Drop 10 to 20 drops of thin CA into the baking soda and cover the bucket. After 10 to 20 minutes the fumes will condense on even the slightest oils from the fingerprints and create a permanent 3d print of the oils. Be careful not to expose your face to or breath the fumes when you uncover the bucket. Learned that trick 30 years ago or so by accident using baking soda and CA to reinforce and fillet balsa wing spars.

Ahhhh, now that one I knew. Been around some folks that used it to get fingerprints off of unusual items.

But, could you take the same process and use it for artistic work. Like using a fountain pen with oil to draw on a mod and have the CA fume the oils art into acrylic art?

Now that might be interesting.

I am not sure I like their new way of tracking. I liked it better when I saw the cities along the way. Like the time it went from NYC to Maine to Raleigh, then here.

Right, this way they avoid the embarrassment of people knowing/seeing when a package sent from, (e.g.) Florida to Virginia goes by way of Chicago. :laugh:

I have one coming from Tonga. I figure it is a satellite "store" for their postal system next door to Fastech handling shippment of their battery products in the first leg of Expedited USPS for battery products. In my case it's a couple pair of bluetooth headphones.
I don't think it actually was passing through Tonga, they just fly it.

I do have some battery stuff coming from FT.
It sounds weird but apparently some batteries are either produced or stored in a weird little island in the pacific I've had a bunch come from vanuatu(sp?)
