If you are making only one ball at a time, the process takes a few hours. But if you make a mini production line, the process goes much quicker. ;-)

Until another McMaster order comes in, we only have enough polycarbonate to make one (maybe two) more homemade moon rock ball(s) at the moment. I'm bringing our video camera to tonight's meeting to film the process. And since the official Orbit ball availability doesn't look to be improving much in its situation, we'll be working to get this white paper and video out to all teams ASAP.
