i was sitting watching a water bath boiling vigourously, there was some pieces of a sticker from a container i had sitting in it for a while, and i remembered that vigourously boiling water makes paper fall apart.... oh, and paper tends to float in the solution...

but i have to wonder what's wrong with marbles and alcohol in a big plastic jug. thousands done in 3 minutes with a bit of shaky-shaky.

i'll admit, h2o is a more elegant solvent for this scenario, if, it in fact, works that way.
