I made 3 others also, one with a hole that I will test to see if it whistles, 1 I threwjust for fun befo it dried and the other I threw against a brick wall because I wanted to see the result. Here it is, after I peeled it from the wall. Also, it looks like it was a good throw, to me it looks like it hit point first and was spinning like a football, as you can see the text is warped to the side.

Thank you, CAs roller is really good when you get used to it. Oh, I didn't weigh them, I think because I was waiting for them to dry before that. They have been sitting for a little bit, but they are barely dry, so I'll go weigh one... so the last one I made weighs a little under 2 ounces as of now, any they have been drying for a few hours. So I estimate it was probably 2 ounces or a little above when I made it. Side story, when I came back in from weighing them, I felt something on my neck, grabbed, and threw it on the ground, pregnant spider. Now my skin is crawling... Usually I can kill spiders no problem, but when one is on me... *shivers*
