Wow cool, I hope my wife has enough vinegar in the cupboards.

Do you think a cat soaked for 3 days in vinegar would work?

My Grandfather made a ship in a lightbulb!

take a hard boiled egg.
Soak in vinegar for three days
Stand a milk bottle in ver hot water
place egg in mouth of milk bottle
As the air in the bottle cools, the egg will be sucked in
when it dries out the shell will become brittle

it works with little clipper ships a well.
