Jim, Yes, I agree a thermastat would be better, but some might see this as
"too complicated". Also adds to the cost. I am thinking just to use timing.
If one was told to zap for 15 seconds, they can have a watch and do that.
of course 5 min would be tougher to count (unless has countdown timer).
but if it does not add too much to the cost, I am open to it. The trick is, will
it still work inside the plastic (embedded -- basically we put wireframe in,
then injection mold the whole frame using melten plastic). Coming to
thinking it, bi-metal would not work inside plastic... they will space to
separate when it is warm/hot enough.
Thanks for the info thou.
