[ATM] RE: glass heating

[vorblesnak@peak.org]

Any hints on what the plasma is?

On a related note, I have used a microwave to heat small quantities of
pitch.  It is the glass container that heats and melts the pitch.  Perhaps
the glass could be heated without any particular gas or plasma filling the
void.
