I want to form plastic sheet using heat. Will this work? Plug a rheostat into the wall. Plug a cord into the rheostat. Cut the end of the cord and attach the bare ends to a piece of sheetmetal. Will this heat the metal w/o it being a shock hazard?
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is arguably the best way to burn your house down.
1. Yes, there is a shock hazard. 2. Your circuit may burn up the power cord before tripping the breaker but the sheet metal will not get warm.
