The result is a decent glue, possibly suitable for indoor, or at least I will be doing more careful weight/strength tests on both these after I run out of my 8 tubes of Ambroid. One downside--many celluloid guitar picks are brown, so that's unsightly, if not a source of extra weight. The ping pong ball glue color blends well enough on balsa. Years ago I remember plain amber translucent celluloid guitar picks somewhere, and possibly clear ping ping balls somewhere.
