I would go ahead and contact the people you see with similar adaptive solutions you're interested in and ask how they got theirs made!

That's Oscar! I used to see him out in squirrel hill all the time. He lost his leg to a rat trap--I'm a bit upset to see his caretakers still let him roam after that.

Secret Santa is a different game, where you buy a gift for a specific person. Dirty Santa/White Elephant you pick wrapped gifts at random and "steal" them from each other.

I sand and score smooth surfaces before trying to glue them to give the glue more to grab on to.

Yeah, the shear strength of super glue just isn't great if you're trying to fix things (like the hinge flap of iPad case) that gets repetitive use. However, scoring/sanding + super glue THEN epoxy or cement can help when joining smooth surfaces together. Also it's great for holding shit together while you wait for the other glue to cure

And it's cheap and readily available, which is awesome. Not to sound like a shill, I've just repaired an ipad case with it recently and I'm very impressed.

Unfortunately, squirrels cause something like 8% of all blackouts in the US, so it's the least they could do.
