    so i made this batty thing but when i heat the metal some grey/black residue forms. it easily wipes away though. is it safe? should i keep heating it till it no longer forms? should i sand it down? (i noticed it has an outter layer that peels when theres a crack)

    thanks :)

    if theres an outer layer that peels, do not smoke out of it

    Sounds like your smoking out of some thing that is just metal plated. Try a skinny deep well socket. it worked for me in the past. But use a name brand like craftsman.

    i cant post a pick and yes it is metal plated but it seems to be metal underneath. i was hoping you could tell me what kind of metal it is. is there a specific group of metals that form residue when heated??

    btw yes i do realize how sketchy this is lol

    it might just be from the flame of the lighter..

    The flame from the lighter could leave a layer of soot.

    it can leave soot just from heating the metal? no weed in there...
