...Ouch, IMHO, I wouldn't recommend the use of cryogenics
to fabricate a steering wheel hub. I am really surprised
that the sleeve didnt break into bits when hammered- or
worse, split apart while driving at speed.
LIN is lots of fun to play with- we use it during demos to
freeze roses and tennis balls and smash them to itty bitty
pieces, but it requires careful handling and storage to
prevent _serious_ thermal burns or even asphixiation from
rapid O2 displacement.
