It's a stove, use it, don't stare at it all day.
The scenario that these feet are for shipping
purposes makes the most sense.


I agree. I mean if you had some Glyptal or knew somebody with some, you
could put up just enough in a screw on bottle cap to dip each foot and
let dry pointing down, I think that might take the heat, but to
actually make a foot, that's too much trouble for minor scratches in
the stainless. Mom has a similar stainless top with cast iron feet and
there are plenty of scratches from other sources.

Now, Glyptal is motor insulating varnish, and is used to seal in the
smoke vector field inside the stator of an AC motor. (giggle) Overheat
the stator, and the vector field dissipates, rendering the stator
useless. I know they have to bake the stuff on to harden it. At what
temperature does this transition occur?
