re: Wheat Bags
Dappy - Thanks for your help and advice on cottons and filings, It is much appreciated. I am sorry to hear of your wife's news, and I hope that things are as peaceful as possible. xre: Wheat Bags
Hi TD, have just sent you an email re: the possibility of filling and completing the bags while I am there and then delivery them directly to Amanda or Doug.Andie x
re: Wheat Bags
ST, I have just written to Kosta to see if he knows of an agricultural merchant in Bg. who sells bags of wheat. Can you ask your friends Terry, etc., as there may be somewhere in Smolyan.M x
re: Wheat Bags
TD, how are you going to get them all out to Bg. as they weigh a ton?re: Wheat Bags
Looks like Buckwheat is the best
Homemade wheat bags
Homemade wheat bags can pose a greater fire and injury risk
because the moisture content and volume of these bags is not
known, and the proper heating time can’t be recommended. The
use of a type of wheat other than buckwheat may increase the
risks of overheating, fires, and burns.
Adding oils to wheat bags
If you add oils to wheat bags, over time you will saturate the
cover cloth and create an added fire risk to the existing ...

If you add oils to wheat bags, over time you will saturate the
cover cloth and create an added fire risk to the existing danger
of overheating and fire.
Overheating and Fire Risks
Continual heating and drying of the wheat bag may overheat it
to ignition point. When heating it in a microwave, place a cup or
bowl of water in with the wheat bag to reduce this risk.
Spontaneous Combustion
If the wheat bag is kept insulated after initial heating (for example,
placed under bedclothes, or on a car seat in the sun), spontaneous
heating can then occur and the wheat may catch fire.

Scarey - am I going to be making home made bombs?
re: Wheat Bags
This did make we laugh.I think if you use the right filling and all cotton material (no manmade) then all should be ok. I should not think the kids would be allowed to use the microwave to heat them in so should be ok if adult does it. I have used them for years and never had any trouble.

Sam, just a bit of usefull info, wheat does not make popcorn. Take note when travelling in Bulgaria you see loads of corn of the cob hanging outside houses to dry, when dry it is scrapped of the cob, This is what popcorn is made from. Put a handfull into some hot fat (only enough to cover bottom of pan) and you will get loads of popcorn. I did not realise this till i was at my friends grandmothers house and she was making some.re: Wheat Bags
Hello
Microwaved, cotton bags all cut and delivered to Mother this morning, who is busy sewing away. Bags are cut to measure 12 x 16 cm when sewn (or 4 3/4 x 6 1/3" in old money). There will be 250g of wheat in each one, so 16Kg in total to go in the ski bag.
The covers should be in a thickish fabric (A fleece throuw from supermarket would be great). If you cut the material 13cm wide x 32cm, plus a ~3-5cm flap, and sew down the two lengths that should give a snug envelope. We need ...

Can you let me know what you can pledge to take with you, (or post to Amanda) for the 1st or 8th March. I have time to get my machine fired this Sunday if we are short of a few.
Thank you lovelies
