I am an Earth Science teacher and have obtained 4 55-gallon drums 
to implode in front of my class.  I put a little water in the 
bottom, put 4 hot plates under the barrel, capped it after it had 
steamed for about an hour, and quickly squirted cold water on the 
outside.  It did not work.  Any ideas please forward...Thank-You.
