Wasn't cleaning today, so I was screenprinting shirts. If anyone is familiar with screenprinting, when printing 2 or more colors, you print your first color or under base, run that shirt under a "quick flash" machine which gels the ink, so that you can print another color with out smearing the ink, and so on. Then the shirt is pulled from the press, and run through a curing oven at 350*+ for a minute to dry (cure) the ink. Turned my back for one minute, and the "Flash" wire started smoking and burning. Cut the power, and it stopped.

Same can happen to and CC equipment. Keep and eye on your stuff!

Oh, no damage.....just had to replice the wire (220 volts).

Yeah, I put a plastic jar in the microwave today, guess it had a little foil around the cap.

It was a nice show of sparks.
