That makes 2 of us. Unfortunately, that doesn't answer any of my questions [/QUOTE] yes that will work! i used 4 high power 1ohm resistors in a velocity, it will take anything between 1/2 an hour to an hour. just make sure you don't leave it unattended when you do it, those wires will get hot and thats a fire risk[/QUOTE] Great, thanks for confirming that for me. I'll have it sitting next to me the whole time, with a small desk fan directed at the wires
