Building wyches part 6: unexepected setbacks

Look on my works ye mighty and despair… these are all the arms where I put the magnets in backwards and now they are repelled by their intended torsos.

Remember when I said I needed to mark my defective torsos so I dont confuse them with the ones I want my arms to match?

I thought lets put some sharpie on the two odd balls so I wont use them as references to get my magnets on the right polarity.

Aaaaaaand I sharpied one of them all right. And then instead of sharpieing the other defective I sharpied an innocent. And used the defective as reference for 8 arms that I glued together before I noticed my mistake.

And I was so proud of how fast I was gluing too…

Why are there only seven defectives in the picture if I glued 8? One arm had the magnet spin around by accident. So I unintentionally got that one right.

This stings.

But I have hope for a relatively painless solution.

I hear tell that a product called “super clean” can dissolve super glue and strip paint without dissolving plastic. Let’s see if we can try using some to unstick these backwards magnets.
