SunsetBay Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Can anyone recommend a good waterproof power strip? I only have one outlet (2 plugs) in my basement studio. It's right behind my wheel, and my wheel and my extra lamp are plugged into it. I'd like to be able to plug in things like my stick blender (for glazes) without having to unplug something else. But I'm guessing I ought to use something that will be safe (or at least relatively protected) from splashes of water and slip. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

oldlady Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 a long thick cord will allow you to put the strip somewhere away from the source of the splashes. attach the strip to a wall somewhere convenient for use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea. I could keep the wheel plugged directly into the wall (I'd prefer not to have to use an extension cord for it), and then plug everything else in farther away. Why didn't I think of that? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pres Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 A Gfi on wall socket is a good idea, or you could use a breaker replacement that was GFI for the entire basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 A GFI breaker for whole basement curcuit on cement basemaent is a must have. Much safer.Easy install as well. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 after you do all this, learn to throw with less water and you won't have to worry so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronfire Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 A piece of plastic ( used clay bag ) stapled on the wall that hangs over the wall plug will help keep the cay and water out. I you are real messy you can build a surround with plastic to protect everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
