<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 289358, member: 5833&quot;]Can&#039;t imagine putting together something so heavy with glue.&nbsp; The odd color patterns are one reason I considered the possibility of a material similar to Incolay, which is colored with pulverized stone.&nbsp; The Incolay polymer has several properties that make it fairly easy to work with.&nbsp; One of these is that it bonds to itself without the need for extreme heat.&nbsp; This is the other major reason I suspect at least some elements of the box are artificial; the pieces would hold together, not fall apart when the glue dried out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think any of these polymers would react with something as weak as highly diluted acetic acid, aka vinegar.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see frothing, I see several little pearl-like bubbles I suspect are just air escaping from small pits/crevices in the surface.&nbsp; My eyes often play tricks when it comes to discerning depth in photos.&nbsp; Are there small bumps or pits on the leg surface that shows in the second pic with the vinegar test?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
