BigDog, could you post a pic of your next bundle? It would be very interesting to see the process.

It's funny to me now but I was confusing a heating blanket with a heating pad, For resons I won't go into. I see now how you can get the poundage.

Have you seen this gallery of homemade kilns these guys have concocted. Some are sure to be high risk fire starters. It's a use at your own risk situation. LOL

No LOLs, when it comes to electrical wiring. Both of my kilns are wired according to electrical housing code, and have proper grounding, as well as thermostatic control of the heat. I know that many of the kilns of others do as well.

An appliance doesn't have to come from a retail marketeer in order to be safe. There's a difference between a glitzy cabinet and a safe device.

Okay the homemade kiln gallery was a bad example. I had no intentions of pointing anybody specific or what they made out. It must have came out wrong then what I was thinking. I'm just saying that some people will go to extremes when making things. I apologize. I am sorry. I will be quit. quiet I meant quiet

If you don't bring up obvious concerns than you may feel guilty someday,

You can say you tried.

Janetta, don't feel that way about it! Some points need to be seriously talked about, often. I don't think anybody was yelling at you. DS's point that pretty does not equal safe, is a good one. Creativity with electrical devices does have real risks. The ideas and conversations that happen here are what make this forum fun and important, even with the bumps.
