Hey man! I saw a post you made when I was searching the forum for dent solutions and read a post where you said you use a pancake griddle for your injector and pyrex cups. How well does it keep both warm? Is it not a break risk for the Pyrex or anchor cups if you just leave them on there with plastic in them? Also, after your initial heating of the plastic, If you kept the temp on the griddle at 350, would you not have to put the cup back in the nuker to heat the plastic up to temp? Thanks in advance!

Ok i put my injector on the grill and set it at around 300 F , i have my microwave on 8" blocks on my table next to my fan blowing out the window my pancake grill set in front of the microwave. I heat the injector while i heat the plastisol in the microwave i take the plastisol out set on the grill stir it set back in finish heating i roll the injector as i heat it. Plastisol is ready i set it on grill stir it and inject until it is gone sometimes i will put back in for a few seconds just to keep the temp up .i keep my grill at around 250 to 300 f most of the time have never had a cup break unless i knock it off the table . i shoot most of the time at around 300f or less the top will coat over after a little while but i will push it back and keep shooting i shoot 5 molds at a time these are the baby shad shoots 14 at a time. if u keep it stir before the top skims over u have no problems, the cooler u can shoot the less dents u will have, also keep slight pressure on your injector for a count of ten or more then fill your spur. I still have some dents but not as many these are the ones i fish with LOL or the ones i give away. Also by heating the injector u don't have to clean the plug out if u get it hot enough before u start. U will need a pad or glove to go around the injector as it is hot . i will cycle the injector after shooting and push the left over plastic out to blow the plug out then set it back on the grill . My pancake griddle is about 16" X 12" guessing, u can put 2 Qrt cups and injector and have room. I also use it to heat jig heads to power coat them Cub48

Cool! Thanks for the tip. I would have never of thought to use a pancake griddle. You think if I made a stand for the injector out of aluminum and put it on the griddle it would keep it up to temp? That way you wouldn't have to rotate the injector on the griddle. You could just simply insert the nozzle and the block would keep the whole thing hot. Or should I not even bother and just place it directly on there?
