shady place...even better a temperature controlled
place...or paint the coil white...or order white rod!

There may be something to that. The rod I have is white.
The surface is just as shiny and smooth as new.

This is exactly what I mean. If heat kills the rod, white
would surely be better in the hot sun.

That also brings up something else I wasn't really
comfortable with when talking to Polygon. I asked if black
would be better outdoors and they said no. They said white
was better. I wondered why, when everything else seems to be
the opposite.
