Re: Water damage... causes





Not trying to be argumentative, but there are a few points to consider in your cooking example:  Remember that dry and wet hands will make things seem hottoer or colder.  Also, different materials have different heat conductivity:  Aluminum foil does conduct heat very well, but has very low mass.  A glass dish will behave differently from a ceramic dish, etc.  I remember seeing a documentary where they heated a piece of iron and a piece of space shuttle skin in the same open flame until the iron was red-hot.  The presenter could just turn off the flame and handle the NASA bit with bare hands :O
