Well SWIM is at it again and he has a couple questions about synthing sodium cyanate from urea and soda ash....mostly he just wants some details, I got an introduction in to how easy it is in this post Post 214057 (foxy2: "NaOCN and KOCN Production", Novel Discourse)

What should the ratio be, equimolar?

Dry reaction, or not?

How high should this be heated?

I will probably have more questions after these are answered, but for now.........

UTFSE, and read this post: Post 442105 (DRIVEN: "NaOCN from urea and sodium carbonate", Methods Discourse)

You can probably use an electric kitchen oven for the heating. I also think you'd end up with a purer product if you used NaOH instead of Na2CO3...
