    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ for 9 Nov 04

    Good Morning Friends,
    When making Arts and Crafts lamps and shades it is recommended that you use Mica for the shades.

    Why do you think this product is recommended?

    Mica is not affected by heat, it is not a fire hazard and it doesn't change colour over time?

    Good Evening Friends,
    Great answers by both of you as you are correct in your answers.

    It's hard to beat mica for a lampshade material. Besides its warm, amber Translucence, it's nonflammable, resisting temperatures up to 1650 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Thank you for your support.
