Yes, this is what I use. I bake mine on 300 for 30-45 mins... I also zip tie a couple together for added height

Thanks - I thought you had mentioned that! I think I'm going to ziptie it to the shower caddies to create a little bridge between them[WHITE SMILING FACE]

I got one from hobby lobby the other day and microwaved it for a couple minutes.

Ebay is a great source for cholla as well. It might even be more cost effective. ;)

I've gotten both of my longer pieces (18-20inches) from eBay. The smaller pieces are cheaper but they are the narrower-holed ones - not the teddy bear kind (I think that's what it's called - not 100% sure haha) Its just my personal preference to use the teddy bear ones which is usually what hobby lobby carries.
