    Ping pong ball eyes

    Hi, Well I caved in and am using ping pong ball eyes but have a few questions. First how do you cut them so the edges don't look ragged. next how do you set the eyes on the puppet so they will stay along time. Will the contact cement glue be strong enough? thanks for the answers ahead of time.
