Looks to be a problem with the fan in the bottom. I cleaned some corrosion off the contacts and now it works. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement fan?

Do you make the blades yourself? I have done some blacksmithing, but nothing like that. What did you use as a source for the different metals?

I have 11 in the kiln. They were made with AP. A few might have flat spots because I let the kiln get 1460 when I took a break. If they do, I'll make replacements.

I have noticed that it is generally lower quality. It has a smaller working range and bubbles easier. It is still useful, but you need to be aware of its properties.

I was thinking about some glass knitting needles. Then I realized they would be too smooth. Sandblasting sounds like it could help, but I don't have a blasting cabinet.
