Llewellyn,
Dense is not necessarily good for providing insulation. I would imagine the
more air in the network, the better. Better heat tolerance, too.

Llewellyn , you could try adding ,by wedging in ,5 to 10% perlite
into the body to give it some thermal shock reticence.

I agree. The best trivet I have has three
feet on the bottom and the trivet is about 1/4
inch thick. The air beneath it lets the heat off
without "sweat" and the feet don't get that
hot.

Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Cindy,
What cone do you recommend would be OK for trivets? I don't want to have
the 'smash' or end up under a hot kettle of soup and end up on the ladies
lap! any suggestions?
