Well of course, if you are transforming a certain id of an item into a another then the game thinks 1 item is 2 items so, for examle if you wanted a wire spool on a flashlight for 30 seconds, you would transform a toolbox into a flashlight. this is a way of using a wire spool on a flashlight but it is bannable if someone reports you.
you are doing this method correctly of transforming items.
