It will be interesting to see if the seller (same email address as a UK mail order sg company) gets more than his retail price for the book - which on his website he says are out of stock until September!! Might be a good way to sell some of our expensive books.

Skamolex Vermiculite bricks and panels

I found a UK site detailing the Scamolex vermiculite stuff
http://www.woodstoves.co.uk/skamol.htm

Who invented Pot Melts?

Don't know who invented the technique but I was taught it early 1980s by Detlef Tanz at a pate-de-verre course in Germany
