Field notes
The workshop-to-kit process is explicit: Tej solves a problem at the bench, publishes the method, and packages the approach when people keep asking what was used. Layeraser is the first named kit, built around a cordless rotary tool, buffing wheels, and ultra-fine glass files. A second kit is still described as being on the bench, with Instagram serving as the main place to follow experiments that do not make the product page.
