GOOD GOD !!!!!! U lucked out ---Dont put ur Ballast in the oven !!! Ballasts are solid State and "potted" meaning that all the internal components are assembled then a low melting point material is poured in. It sets up and encases the Elec. Components. It can melt exposing the components and lessening the life of the ballast.

lol when you get the ***** to do yours lol plz teach me the secret you did to do it. I SOOOOOOO want to do this but the thought of it not sealing correctly again really isnt comforting. Looks soo soo good though thats for sure.
