Tuesday, 13th of September 2011 - Flame and heat resistance

Because one of the primary components of the design is to feature flame and heat - we must consider the materials in which the product is manufactured (heat resistance/retardant).

It is more than likely that some form of transparent casing will be needed to protect from the open flames. A regular application of Soft Glass should be sufficient as it still takes reasonably high temperatures for it to soften or fuse. - Jim Lesko

It was briefly suggested that we use smoked/frosted glass to create a glow sensation rather than a reflective sensation.

As for the rest of the body/form, it is more a debate of colour and texture..
