Re: [TCML] Frying tesla coil



I have to question the validity of a claim that floor sweepings
containing bug parts, wire, and screws are deliberately added to PVC

thin-wall PVC so I know that there is some legitimate basis to this,
but I just hate to propagate unsubstantiated and exaggerated claims.
