I don't mean just any thermite. Apparently he has a bucket of rust lying in
wait. A *five gallon* bucket. The kind of weighty bucket that your health
insurance shudders to see you lifting with anything but your legs.

Wear your aluminized quilted Nomex suit with the full hood and gold
foil face shield, metarsal guard boots, and stand back. I've been in
the same room with a graphite rod 2" dia. and 3' long at 2000 deg C,
and the radiant heat load was surprising. I was 10-12' away. The guy
pulling the broken rod from the furnace was wearing the above.
