+1 for hot danger icing. Also, a scroll saw is a sewing machine with more teeth.

I went to order scenic paint to restock the shop, and some colors are over $100 a gallon. Fortunately, our shows only run one weekend, so I can get away with latex, but as you say, even that's not cheap.

At Taco Bell, they use a caulking gun to add sour cream and guacamole.
