I was afraid of that. The guy at Fermi paint where I get my supplies always hits me with a Planck when I ask for gluon paint. But at least he's constant. He always tells me the paint must not be shaken or stirred, but spun, one and only one time. Go figure.
I asked my friend Werner about the electron popping thing - he said he was uncertain. 'Nuff for now - pardon me while I duck.
