     @kaia Wouldn’t thermo paper just go black if you heat it up a little? Burning should be unnecessary.

     @calisti @kaia Haha, I wouldn't recommend this one. 😅 It's just one that was a left over from my roommates old apartment. It's really cheap and can't go under 100°C. But yeah, I also use it for reflowing solder.

     @Natanox @kaia Is this an oven allowing for solder reflow? I’d like a recommendation, please 🤓

     @Natanox @kaia Apart from that, this paper shredder model works well for me, and hasn’t had issues in many years: https://www.bueromarkt-ag.de/aktenvernichter_hama_home_x10cd_50543,p-50543-1.html

     @Natanox @kaia I’ve had thermo paper (important tax documents 🙄) go black just by having them chill around on my desk in the summer sun.

     Part of it might be UV, but generally I don’t think I need to heat it up a lot.

     @calisti @kaia Same thought. I'd probably mix them into tiny shreds, then google at what heat it turns black (but doesn't ignite) and use my tinkering oven.
