    Default Goomia.

    Take frosted drafting mylar. Turn it rough side up. Layer on thin, 5 or 15 minute epoxy. Let dry until just beyond tacky. Peel off.

    Add air bubbles for even more fun.

    Have a good time with your Goomia Lumia.

    Takes some practice to pick when to peel. Some Epoxies may bond to mylar. Your Milage may vary. Drafting mylar is hard to get in the computer age, try a better art store.

    Epoxy did not bond to the glassy frosted surface, and it did not quite frost, but instead was quite clear.

    Once you get it right, OK to layer a AR coated glass disk onto the Goo.

    Found by accident when I used drafting mylar as a insulator on a beam chopper drive motor.

    Goomia is a remark of Mixedgas, all rights reserved. Unless it does not work for you, and then I and the pretty secretary deny all knowledge and responsibility. You may make a Goomia for your own use, but selling them for profit will make me somewhat angry. "You won't like me when I'm angry." LOL.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
