above.</LI>

  <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Hand sew one half of each piece, evenly spaced, onto the edge to the left of the notch; sew the matching half of each piece onto the
underneath size to the right of the notch, so that they fit together when the
two sides are brought together to form a funnel. (see below)  Note:  I first
tried sewing these on a sewing machine, but found it cut through the reflective
material.</LI>
 <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Press the Velcro pieces together, and set the funnel on top
     of a bucket or a round or rectangular plastic wastebasket.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://solarcooking.org/plans/windshield-cooker.htm">Place a black pot on top of a square cake rack, placed
