if you know about the ancient future history then you already are thinking to yourself sure i bet there are one of those somewhere around either pitched behind the trader horn or at that super awesome thrift shop where i got half of my wardrobe from.... thats right kiddos...
we need a spare microwave so we can get some late nite borosilicate fusing action.
so this the question.. is there an old junker already at AGI? or is there one close for free or cheap like 5 bucks? or can someone who is coming by car bring one for the cause? the microwave will not be used for food at all, only fusing pyrex.
email me @ mikeshelbo@gmail.com if there are urgent questions otherwise i will check back to the board often until AGI.
thanks!

what wattage you need? i think i could find one, but i need to know if it will be strong enough
Yeah, I have one I never use, but it's kinda small.

Dude, I could totally hide out in an RV. I'll keep it clean and organized. I was gonna say maybe I could lure some party girls to it, but I see you're a borophile, sooooo...I dunno, I can provide some flame polished tubing. Any particular length ID/ wall thickness.......contourax?

Do you still want a junker microwave, or has Devin got you covered?
I have one in my barn that I will donate and transport if there is a need.

if devin is down than sounds like that will work. im pretty sure i can bring both of my sizes so we will have small, medium, and large apparatus and one microwave. if people are gonna be hittin these hard then 2 microwaves wouldnt be the worst thing. the wattage can variate and fusing times shift based on wattage. so whatever we got will be perfecto!
yes we will be fusing boro. late nite because we can play while campfire action is goin on and the lamp shops are locked up. or are they opening to 24 hour access this year in honor of the celebration?

Okay, I'll leave the micro at home since I am also bringing Ice Cream equip.
Then I can toast boro at home too after learning how at camp
