Actually you may need to use a curved suface to keep a constant radius from the lens. Must find that picutre of using a PostIt to capture dust when drilling a hole in a wall :)

I want one. Now. Please.

Guesstimate it won't be cheap, but on the plus side the only maintence might be via a quick burst of the garden hose once a week or so.

There are cheaper alternatives, if you've an old Sat dish sitting about, although care should be taken to ensure it's convex (reverse/outside) not the concave, to avoid 'parabolic cooking' anything that crosses it's focal point.

Yup is it.
Non-slip loop knot. A fishing knot, doesn't weaken the line the same a figure of 8 does.

They "dip" the whole bag in and then stretch it around the edges.

What does the water drop symbol mean? What difference would wetting it make?

If you dampen a rope (one made of natural materials, especially), it contracts and stiffens as it dries.

If it was taken from a fishing site, you need to lubricate monofilament fishing line or the friction caused when pulling the line tight will cause it to melt slightly weakening the line/knot.
Bit of spit is what's usually used.

The tinfoil spoon is gross, imagine the dust, dirt, and pawprints on it. You'd need to wash it, first.
