Dumenigo earned a plaque for creating the gel.

I know of no other craft in our industry that demands so much from the participants.
To finally gain this observance is a proud moment in our community.
Naturally, Dumenigo is keeping his recipe, which smells like tea tree oil, a secret.
They can thank Dumenigo and his gel for keeping them safe).
But when it came back as a plaque, its a really big deal.
So Im very, very proud of that.
