Several unrelated questions

Curiosity and need to know for obvious reasons:

1. Oven/Kiln temp at, let's say 425?. Open door, insert blade for tempering. Oven loses heat. As it ramps back up it overshoots to 455? +/- but then settles at 425?. Total time of overshoot and settling back to 425? around 5-8 minutes or so. Will this affect tempering for such a short time of overshoot temp?

2. K&G stabilized walnut. I bought a thick block that I sliced into three sets of scales. Is the center of that block just as stabilized as the outer perimeter? Hard for me to think the wood molecules are impregnated with the resin(whatever it is) down that deep. I realize they use tremendous pressure and/or vacuum.

3. Why are steel grindings magnitized? No need to know, just curious.

4. *Nevermind...

5. If Pluto has an atmosphere and Mercury doesn't, why was Pluto declassified as a planet when Mercury is just a hot rock?

* #4 required an understanding of women and thus it has no answer.

#1, Don't worry about it, just follow the instructions for your alloy.
#2, I have no idea as I have never used it.
#3, has something to do with static electricity that makes it temporarily magnetic?
#4 I understand women and thus I live alone.
#5, Mercury has no atmosphere because it is so close to the Sun that the solar wind blows it away.

1. That is certainly common to all the ovens we are likely to have access to so we're stuck with it whether it can do harm or not. For what it is worth, my understanding is that such a short interval does no significant harm.

2. I have use a ton of their stabilized wood. As far as I can tell, the stabilization is adequate all the way through.

3. A sharp blow on the end of an iron rod is said to be able to magnetize it as well.

4. Women are easy to understand. They want babies and a nest to raise them in. If you are willing to father a child and convince them you'll stick around to change diapers, you're in like Flynn.

5. Pluto has an atmosphere? Either way, last I heard they were re-thinking that declassification . Yes, Mercury is just a hot rock but so is California and all the women love it (see answer #4) ...
