Hi all!
Please accept a retraction of my statement that, "...you can gain
additional safety by making a simple wall protector
from a sheet of inflammable material...."
I meant, of course, a non-flammable material. My humble, red-faced
thanks to Vince Pitelka for catching that error.
Meanwhile, Tom Buck suggests corrugated, galvanized metal as an
alternative, non-flammable material for constructing an air-gap between kiln
and a flammable surface. Thanks for that idea, Tom!
Any sort of NON-FLAMMABLE material would indeed work.
Apologetically yours,
Dave Finkelnburg

Hi Dave- say, I have made a few of those
kind of errors too. Don't feel too bad
about it-I would guess most everybody
knew what you meant anyhow. Sometime
try explaining the difference between
flammable and inflammable. -Reg

Dave, age catches us doesn't it? When we were kids, flammable and
inflammable were opposites, but now mean the same and the word non has taken
over.

Allo Cindi,
maybe french is a little bit backward: it is still "inflammable" in our
language.
Flammable would make everybody laugh.
