I dont want to waste Devardi rod although it is extremely shocky but I dont have a kiln
Can you find a cheap hotplate at the thrift store? I used a glass topped one for several years to keep parts hot til applied to the bead. It also kept shocky rods (can you say anise white?!) warm enough that I didn't wind up with frit on a stick.
