[sdiy] Microwave Ferric Chloride

[Mark Smith]

I used to use boiling water, but got lazy and started using the microwave early last year. Works fine for me, as long as I don't spill any. As long as there is enough water it shouldn't be a problem. I remember a demo that Sharp used to do on their stand at exhibitions with light bulbs in glasses of water and they ran for ages...

(I also remember a demo by BBC's jeremy clarkson with some xmas tree lights and no water, looked good for 10 seconds until it caught fire)
