If this happens, please check that the lenses at each end have not cracked. If your Egglet gets wet then please wipe with a dry cloth, and never immerse in water. The inner workings are sealed but if moisture does get in the kaleidoscope may not work properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith proper care this little Egglet will last a lifetime. If you ever need it re-polishing then please just contact steve@gigglewick.co.uk or drop it off at our gallery in The Royal Arcade, Worthing and we will get this done for you, at no cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Egglets are polished to a satin gloss with a premium shellac oil that provides a tough durable lasting finish. It has excellent resistance against liquids such as water, juices, wine, coffee, beer and fizzy drinks and does not peel, flake, crack or blister. The oil is selected to enhance the natural beauty of the wood and is food safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach Egglet comes in a box or a hessian pooch, or both.
