Hi Cynthia,

That "buffering video message" just means that your computer is trying to "stream" the video faster than the Internet will allow when you happen to be watching it. This could be due to a whole bunch of reasons including:

… >> The age of your computer;
… >> Speed of the Internet connection;
… >> Number of other people trying to watch the same video at the exact same time;
… >> And several other technical things that only a true computer geek would really understand :)

Anyway, there is an easy work-around solution to the problem:

… >> First press the "Play" button.
… >> Then press the "Pause" button when the video starts playing. You will see the progress bar at the bottom of the video player continue to advance even though the video is paused.
… >> When the progress is fully advanced, then press the "Play" button again and the videos will proceed smoothly for you with no "buffering" interruptions.

Why don't you try testing them both in your regular oven and see which one is closest to the settings there. If all else fails, go with the one that is reading higher so that you won't go too high. I like to bake at 265 degrees since ovens tend to spike a little and scorching is not a good thing. Thanks for your comment Marion! I hope you can get the right temperature for your beads!

Which am I to believe is true - the Amaco Over or the Sculpey Over Thermometer. Has anyone else encountered this situation and how did you remedy it? Thanks for any comments.
