Why does a fibre glass stove top crack spontaneously? This morning I found the top to be uniformly cracked?
With all the new wool and and softer, although more expensive yarns out there now, I don't find much use for acrylic yarns now because they can seem stiff and scratchyThey are still good though for fun stuff for the kids like purses and doll clothesI inherited a HUGE tote bag full of it from my mother-in-law, and didn't know what to do with itThen I found out that you can make lap quilts that are 24x36 and donate them to rest homes for the elderly who are in chairs most of the time to keep their legs warm, so that is what I am doing with itI thought that would have made my mother-in-law, who has passed away, very happy to know.
Ummmm, acrylic yam is made out of acrylic.go figureThe yarn can be used to make blankets, sweaters, hats, scarves, etcMany sweaters that you can purchase in department stores are made of acrylicHappy Knitting!
What an odd material to make a stove top out ofNo one in their right mind would make a stove top out of flammable thermoset resins and fiberglassI can see their ad nowCall 1-800-CRAZY STOVE !!!! Now with more flammability!!! Comes with a free 60 day monitoring contract with ADT!! Good thing it bustedChuck that thing as far as you can and get a proper stove-EDIT- OK, makes a lot more senseYou have a glass ceramic cooktopThese cooktops are formulated to have a near 0 thermal expansion curve over a wide range of temperaturesThe ceramic used in the cooktop actually has a negative thermal expansion coefficient and when mixed with a borosilicate or vaseline glass, a near 0 can be attainedThermal shock doesn't really figure into these kinds of cooktopsPhysical shock doesSmall scratches on the glass can propagate at over 20,000 ft/secThat is one of the reasons why you don't move a pot or pan back and forth over one of these things like you would on a gas stove topI would guess that the cooktop was simply old, scratched, and did not posses a perfect 0 thermal expansion coefficient10 years? Yeah, that's about rightSorry manNot your fault, but you will have to get a new one.
