You'd better test with a match first, because I'm almost sure an oxy-torch is going to melt it!

(And keep that thing away from my Njoy toys!

Unfortunately, this is a pretty typical turn out. It would be great if more contributors would get involved but we've struggled with that.

I feel like the whole site's been a little quiet this month.

There are a few folks that used to make it, but haven't been here in a while for whatever reason. There are a lot more than 8 contributors here

It's hard to say, there are so many contributors that do not participate in the forums and many that do not come around all that often.

I'm pretty sure that's Tim's intention.

Oh yeah, I've tested a few things. With the stuff I'm sure about, like Tantus, I don't bother testing it... but I got a silicone butt plug from CalEx which I tested and it passed, and a "silicone" wand attachment from the company which makes Fairy wands, which failed. In their defense, they never claimed it was silicone, but EF's product page did.

Thanks. It wasnt that bad considering I didnt take medicine to calm down. Its what I get for being stubborn and not taking my daily pills. But all is well, and I will live to fight another day. haha

I have done the match testing, even used a lighter. But I want to show how much heat they can take.


Stainless takes more to melt that a torch will produce, typically.
But what if I could make it a pretty blue color?

That's what I was warning you against. And, yeah, yeah, you could polish it down... but then it wouldn't be symmetrical anymore!

I think milk might be the problem actually. I made some hot chocolate and starting feeling really sick and gave myself an anxiety attack thinking of all the things that could be wrong. Im in complete denial over my lactose intolerance because I love dairy so much and dont want to accept it. Ill believe anything before that being the problem. Im ridiculous.

Ok, so the first thing I want to talk about a little bit is a few announcements. There's not a ton of info on either of these yet, but I wanted to let you know about them. The first is toy parties. I know everybody's jonesing to get this kicking, and we're starting on it. Right now I'm working on some mockups of things, and it's a little slow going at the moment, but it's going.

We're also working on a program and it's in the beginning stages right now, but I think you'll like the idea. I know a lot of you really know your stuff, and we'd like to extend an opportunity for you to help regular customers a bit. Gary will be starting some polls soon to get more feedback, but how do you guys feel about answering product questions for customers with a live chat client? Something like what our expert help program was designed to be, not a replacement for customer service by any means.

On another note, someone needs to bring Sam and me some dinner to keep us from eating ketchup and tartar sauce packets.
