Yeah, although I didn\\\\\\\'t pay that much I bought my brick after it couldn\\\'t be processed either. emotion requires no logical justification.
It can be processed by hand, although it certainly not easy. Chemicals are the stickler.
Sales figures seemed to indicate that there see oddels and gobs of it left out there unprocessed, and I thought it would start getting dumped. That would provide material to experiment with. But so far it hasn\\\\\\\'t appeared on the market. At least not in the quantities I expected. I thought experimenters would be able to find a hundred rolls for 20 cents each.
