mainbutter Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks for the reminder to be safe, 350+ degree melted plastic and too much excitement can end badly! I think I've got all my safety protocols under control though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDuckman Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks for the reminder to be safe, 350+ degree melted plastic and too much excitement can end badly! I think I've got all my safety protocols under control though Richard gave you good advise. Have fun and be safe. Plastic burns your skin very quickly and painfully. Anybody that has been around it awhile has a story. With good common sense and PPE, you can keep your contact with 350 plastic to a minimum, hopefully none at all.

nova Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Thanks for the reminder to be safe, 350+ degree melted plastic and too much excitement can end badly! I think I've got all my safety protocols under control though I'm pretty sure we've all burned ourselves. It's not if you are going to burn yourself; it's just a matter of when and how bad. lol It's a really rewarding hobby though and well worth the effort. There are many tips posted in TU about what not to do and it may be worth while to do a search for them. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Remember; there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
