Maybe we need a two part chemical.  Something we can print with the
bubblejet, that won't cure without a hardener.  --Something like epoxy, but
w/o the mess.  --I can't ever seem to get the bottle lid screwed tight
enough to keep the epoxy in let alone trying it in a inkjet cartridge!
Something that will polymerize an oil based substance?
