Hot staplers are £25 on Amazon. Spot welders need a fairly high and repeatable clamping force (and a timer) to make good welds, a wonky bit of plywood isn't a good choice for this - you'd do better using your MIG/TIG welder to make button welds. |

But -sob- I don't have a MIG/TIG welder. more sobbing. I do have a broken microwave. I think HD sells both wonky and nonwonky plywood. I'll ask for nonwonky. |

The lamp in our microwave is just the same, but as it has carried on working for the last 40-odd years, it will probably carry on for a few more. -- Sam Plusnet |

I was going to ask what he was getting at. Thanks for pointing out the difference. I watched a vidoe of Lichtenberg etc, and it looked a lot more dangerous and came with many warnings. There was also a suggestion to make Lichtenburg tattoos. They said thay'd tried it but it was too hard because they wouldn't stop twitching. |

Platter replacement is too exxpensive - should be made available retail, where ovens are sold. Microswitches in the door will last longer if the microwave is paused or stopped before opening the door. Too many people use a door pull to terminate cooking. RL |

Too many people > use a door pull to terminate cooking. Well after 35 years the switches are still working well in mine despite years of abuse. Are bulbs really that hard to replace in modern machine once you've whipped the cover off or are folk too feart to peek under the cover these days? Tim -- Please don't feed the trolls |
