Gutted I just bought some Wagos. I could got the soldering iron out and saved a few quid.

That vid is both concerning and reassuring at the same time.

I wonder what the dark mark along the piece of wood before its turned on is? And the obvious groove from d to end of the wood before it chars?
Methinks I wouldn't get the same result if I repeated that experiment with a normal bit of wood!
