Any information would be greatAs I can see already a simple box with a black interior, and aluminum foil on the flaps seem to work? Or mirrors? I just want to know the simplest and best way to make one homemade
back when i was a youngster, i worked with an old time painter that shaved a little lead into his paints to make them cover betterthe danger is a bit over rated these days, though i do test for lead in some homes and recommend removing/sealing covering old leaded finishes to protect childrenthe danger is that lead is sweet and children like sweets and will chew and eat the lead paint when it flakes off the surface (or like a pair of my grandkids, just gnaw on the doorjamb)
Have you tried using Old Holland Lead whiteWhen used for painting 'skin' it adds a lustre and feeling of 'real' skin that is unsurpassedI'm careful and always use a barrier cream before using lead based paintsI've had no ill effects after many years of using 'lead paint'.
You have to concentrate energy on the item to be heated, so a cardboard parabolic dish covered in aluminum foil should get a lot of sunlight there - a 1/2 meter dish, on a good bright day at noon, should heat a cup of water to boil in about 5 or 6 minutes.
