In fact, now might be the perfect time to get in on the ground floor of the after-market for replacement Etch-A-Sketch Magic Dust. It's mostly powdered aluminum, which can be recycled for use in everything from dirigible dope to radiator sealer to holiday fireworks. Aluminum powder is even used in instant hot chocolate mix to keep it from clumping. In answer to Dusty, we in the industry prefer the term Magic Dust over Etch-A-Sketch toner.

Alas, I could only manage to draw things that had right angles! I'm amazed with his depth of detail. Etch-a-Sketch was one of my favorite toys as a kid.

As for making sure the image doesn't dissappear, I'm going to guess some kind of spray on glue. Maybe the kind that Elwood Blues uses as it is, "Strong stuff". SpaceMonkeyX,
