Edible composite.

[andvari7]

Cool. I was thinking of a non-edible composite, but it probably won't come to fruition - it involves what used to be edible: the charred remains of what is supposed to be food.

Seriously, though, I was thinking the charred remains of charcoal. Isn't that carbon? Mix it with epoxy, and I'd be an everyday Ned Steinberger (except nowhere NEAR as cool).

Carbon is everywhere. My favorite example would be a marshmallow, after it catches on fire. That big blob of black at the end of your stick... Yep. That's carbon.

Burnt marshmallows and Metamucil....

that sounds like carbon fiber reinforcement to me!












:scowl: I'm almost ashamed....

you need something that hardens, though. I say make a giant bass-shaped chocolate chip cookie.

1 cup flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 2 cups epoxy.... YUM!

I never thought this topic would live to see page 2, but since it has, I'de like to see somebody here make a guitar-pop body. Picture how solid a 1.75" thick jolly rancher would be. Price them reasonably, and soon every high school kid in a punk band would have one. Hell, I'll take one too. I like watermelon.

Ick. What happens in rainstorms and in the summer? It'll get all sticky and disgusting. What's worse, hair and lint will stick to it. Nope. But I DO like the burnt marshmallows.

You'd have to seal it somehow to prevent stickyness, which destroys the purpose.

eggwash.
that's the base in true tempra paint, which has survived mother nature for 1000s of years.

Right, but then again, the target demographic would already be sticky and disgusting. I know I was. Hairy and linty too.
Does current day punk allow hygene? Those days are long gone for me.

I thought very seriously last week about making a guitar out of epoxy and various breakfast cereals. Cheerios for the body, shredded wheat (get it?) for the neck, fretboard inlaid with those marshmallows from Lucky Charms.

Might need a stronger cereal for the neck though...maybe Grape Nuts or something.

I may actually do it.

I will be your fan for life if you do.
