Hi,

    Peter asked:

    I haven't actually bought any yet,  but I found:

       http://www.stovefinders.com/p-mica-index.html

    also there are other sites:

       http://www.pleo.com/bcmica/bcmica.htm
       http://micasales.com/

    Looking at the mica which I have salvaged from the expired element I 
think I can probably do a reasonable job by re-using this old mica,  and 
joggle the layers,  so that the hole which was burned through the layers 
by the arc is staggered in each  layer.  I'm not quite sure what 
thickness of mica I need to withstand the normal 230v mains.


       Cheers,


          Roger Mason,  in St. Agnes.
