Hello CD, I really like the look of your glass stems. Very creative! I cant wait to see what other products you can come up with.
In regards to the compound you use, would it be possible for you to share the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) or it's equivalent for this product? It's(the compounds) contents or make up perhaps? Preferably with information from a verifiable 3rd party source other than the compounds manufacturer.
I ask this as you state that the manufacturer has told you that no toxins can be 'released' below 600f. Does that mean there are toxins and they can be released above 600f? If so, it should probably be stated as so, even if the temps are too low for anything to be released.
I am certainly not trying to put you 'on the spot', but as others have stated this forum's purpose is for information sharing, as to allow us all to make the most informed decisions about the products we use. For this concept to truly work we must apply it to every product discussed or offered on this site.
