Well picked it up because I can use it for its original use too, it's super
clear. But nothing to flame and oven test it, so may as well. If it flames
really well I may sacrifice an extra printer in the driveway a la the flaming
pop tart toaster experiments. If you haven't seen this try it, get a $5 yard
sale toaster and wire/tape the handle down, put in some pop tarts and plug it in
on the driveway. Make sure there is nothing flammable within 50 yards or about
50 feet overhead, you get 15-20 foot flames sometimes. There is a seperate FD
flamability chart for breakfast pastries.


Went to Walmart getting stuff and they had the bubble curtains. Aqua tech,
they had the green 1' stiff one, but also a flexible one that you can't see any
holes, looks smooth to the eye. Got one of each, figuring the flexible one may
have smaller holes etc. Also got a plastic 'stone' that's like a hollow tube
shape with a diffuser that looks like one of the plastic scouring pads. Was
only %1.50 or something so got it to try as well. I'll put up some pics for ID
purposes if any of them seem particularly useful.

Time to try out the high heat RTV, too bad it's black this will be fun I think..
