Hi Bill, The plates are sheets of aluminum. You coat them with soot from an acetylene torch. Or other similar device. One end of the plate is sooted. The...
Thanks for the info Kim! I'm going to give it a try. I have a friend that has an acetylene torch. I wonder if a propane torch would give the same effect,...
HI Bill, Traxtone comes in premeasured packages. All you do is add water. I think it was a cup or two, but the package directions will tell you. I get it from ...
Thanks again Kim. I went back and looked and I guess it is more expensive, but the durability would be worth it. I am an elementary teacher and use my casts...
