Question
We use a ton of Space Balls in cabinet doors. Is there any sort of dispenser or semi-automated way to drop them in the rails?

I use screen spline. It comes in rolls and in various diameters. Much easier to use a single snake of spline on each side of a panel than individual balls (at least I think so).
