A delicate process that's for sure!
I couldn't help but thinking ligor mortis in telescope melted glass terms. If that makes any sense, which I actually doubt!
EDIT: Well, I actually didn't mean "rigor mortis" but the post-mortem state of a body where the blood sinks to the bottom of the corpse. I thought it was called "ligor mortis" but searching for it now I come up empty.
