Original poster: Ian Macky <ian.macky-at-oracle-dot-com> My local TAP Plastics sells white fiberglass round rods, 1/2" to 1" diameter, 6' or so, at a nice price. Without knowing the specific composition, would these generally be safe to make 'hot sticks' out of? Is most/all fiberglass "safe" for this sort of use? I need to discharge caps (and want to draw arcs). --ian
