THere was a thread on this a while ago, and someone was experimenting with making their own. The long URL that follows puts you right into that Thread:

I would love to hear more about this topic myself. I figure that since Uncle Mel asked , he probably has tons of neat reports. Mel??
On a similar topic, How do they glue them together in a typical electric kiln lid?
Regards,
Jim
