Everything looks good Rammit.....let u know how it works and show results.........good job nugene

Thanks Mark I am going to give a 2 part mold a try using solarez. I will try to see if I can do one half in plaster of Pari s and then solarez and after it hardens chip away the plaster from the master and then cover with Vaseline and do the other side with with solarez. If that works I want to try using it also on foams and other hard curing resins as I find that molds made of silicone expand with foams and doesn't give exact copies every time.

As for the thermowell it's just a solid tube that the k (type k thermocouple) could be threaded into and usually gives more of a uniform temp reading without directly contacting the substance (plastic) being monitored. I only asked because I'm not sure how thick the bottom of the pouring pot is and this also could eliminate the need for the holes around the sensor

Ok I misunderstood I thought his controller was overshooting his disired temp and it was taking seven min to get back to a decent pouring temp. Seven minutes doesn't sound like much until you have to repeat it over and over. Sorry Mark after I posted that it came to me that maybe camrynekai May not be familiar with what I was referring to and was only following directions that came with the controller but I decided to leave the post just in case it could help. P. I. D. Controllers P stands for proportional (basically the amount of correctional action that the controller will take to correct a process variance) I stands for intergral or reset (usually expressed in minutes per repeat or repeats per minute that the corrective action will be applied) D stands for derivative ( acts kind of like electronic esp where the controller tries to predict a process upset based on the actions the controller has taken in the past)

I wait, no mater how long...............
