    Frogesan got a reaction from Roberta12 in why did my plaster set so suddenly and unevenly?   
    I just realized that I never came back to reply, and it's super irritating when people do that...
    Anyways, I tried working faster and stirring more vigorously, and the plaster set up as usual. Success!
    I didn't know that faster stirring made for stronger plaster, so I'll get out the jiffy mixer next time. (I learned to mix plaster in a community college class, so we might have been stirring by hand because it was more practical for a group of people than taking turns with a jiffy mixer.)
    Thanks, all, I really appreciate the advice.

    Frogesan got a reaction from Bill Kielb in circuit breaker size for kiln   
    Thanks, everybody!
    The electrician actually broke out the code book during the inspection (and we had a kiln manual page explaining why the plug is 50 and the breaker is 60), but the inspector still wouldn't budge. So we're going to swap out the breaker. (The wire is sized appropriately, but thanks for the reminder.)

    Hi, I'm buying a new kiln and having my garage wiring updated for it. I haven't picked out which model yet, but all the ones I'm looking at have the same electrical requirements (kiln needs to be on 60-amp circuit).
    My understanding is that because the kiln is a continuous load, one that draws 48 amps needs to be on a 60-amp circuit. My electrician agrees, although he's not a kiln expert.
    I've run into problems with the inspector, who INSISTS that I must use a 50-amp breaker in the garage subpanel because the kiln has a 50-amp plug. The current (ha) plan is to put in the 50-amp breaker to pass inspection, then swap it out for a 60-amp breaker so I don't burn down the garage.
    Just as a sanity check, can someone confirm that Skutt and L & L are right about what size breaker I need, and the inspector is wrong?
    Thanks!
