minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 days agoSounds like it’s hotter than that not cooler
minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 days agocoincidentally, just saw a youtube short with more crazy shit https://www.youtube.com/shorts/l3CFqCgmumw they mix three salts together to control the melting temperature so it’s still hot but not as hard on the equipment.
