Malcolm:

You have such cool stuff from Japan on your site! I really love the idea of the Mille warmer - it's pictured in that wonderful book (wink!) "Tonbo Dama" (a really fascinating read, everyone!) I saw in there that they were putting their finished beads into buckets of what appeared to be sand, quite like I do with my vermiculite in a Crock Pot; I'm figuring the "Annealing Bubbles" is actually the product being used. I'm curious about the product, and maybe you can answer my questions:

1. Do you know the heat threshold of "Annealing Bubbles"? Is it a product that can be used as a support, let's say, in place of vermiculite when firing PMC, too? (1650 degrees for a hold of about 2 hours, is the standard) That would be VERY COOL!

2. Do you have an estimated date on when this product might be available for purchase through you from your supplier?

Thanks!
