brz odgovor
Jednostavne DIY pepeljare uključuju: prenamijenjene keramičke posude, tanjure za biljke od terakote, ukrašene metalne limenke i male zdjele. Za obrtnike: pepeljare od glinene suhe zrake, umjetnička djela od smole ili ukrašeno staklo. Uvijek koristite materijale otporne na toplinu, nezapaljive. Izbjegavajte plastične, tanko staklo ili obložene papire.
Sigurnost na prvom mjestu: zahtjevi materijala
Sigurni materijali za DIY pepeljare
Excellent:
- Keramika (glazirana ili neglazirana)
- Metal (kosit, aluminij, čelik)
- debelo staklo
- beton
- teracot
- Stone
Pažljivo koristite:
- glina koja se suši na zraku (brtvljenje s završnom obradom otpornom na toplinu)
- drvo (obratite vatrootpornim brtvilom ili se koristite samo kao podloga za ladicu)
materijala koje treba izbjegavati
Never use:
- Plastic (melts, releases toxic fumes according to OSHA smjernice)
- Tanko staklo (pukotine, razbijanja)
- papir ili karton (opasnost od požara)
- Nezapečaćeno drvo (opekline, ugljeni)
- obloženi metali (premazi mogu izgorjeti)
Brzo i jednostavno: prenamijenjeni artikli
