As one who's never used a relay before in anything critical I come up
with a dumb question...
Do relays "bounce" when they are OPENING enough to re-contact?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Relays bounce when you close a contact. If you have a situation where this
will cause a problem, put a capacitor across the contacts or buy a mercury
wetted relay for really sensitive situations.
