That was too much power, at least IMO, for the electric blanket I was

5 V (11 A).

I'm under the blanket now and it's toasty. Not hot, but warm. I will

The Teflon wire is hot glued to the old blanket. I wasn't sure if this
would work as I feared glue melting, but so far so good after some

I hope you live alone. I'm pretty sure you made your own smoke alarms but still.
