NARRATIVE
            Ice will melt under sufficient pressure and re-freeze when the pressure is removed.  At least 24 hours ahead of time, make an ice block in the freezer. Place the piano wire loop over the ice block. Hang a long 1 Kg weight hanger with about 3 - 4 Kg of mass attached. If you use more, the ice does not have time to re-freeze. The wire will pass through the ice block, re-freezing as it goes, leaving it intact in about 30 minutes. This time is only approximate.
