Your the luckiest guy. You should have bought a lottery ticket that day. Another member here burnt his whole shop down not watching his melter. The cookie sheet is a much better upgrade from the cardboard in your first post.
If you guys have wood work benches go down to Home Depot and buy a piece of Hardie Board and throw on top of it.
Dragonrider,
Since you went all "Bill Nye the Science Guy" with your event, I hope you collected some useful imperical data cause I have a couple of questions.
#1 How long did it take for your stalagmite to form?
#2 When you dismantled your treasure, did it break into sections when bent or did you have to resort to mechanical means to disassemble it?
#3 Did you try to catch any of the individual drops that came out?
#4 Have you been able to replicate the results?
I do like your style to let things play out. Many of our common use items came about by accidental means.
Myself, I would have tried to catch some of the droplets to determine if they would make shot. Who knows, maybe Lee could market their pot as a dual use device. Making lemons out of lemonade, no wait, I may have that backwards... oh well, lets see if I can do it.
