dsmblack Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I was wondering what to do if I heat larger amounts of plastic, how to keep hot. for example heating up a quart at a time. I currently use pyrex and a micro. I have heard about people keeping it on a hot plate. Any suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't do that much at a time but I put my pyrex cup back in the micro while I am waiting for the molded plastic to setup. I give it a 30 second shot and stir it to check out its viscosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just did that tonight. I had a quart pyrex and only heated it once and set it in a griddle. I boosted the heat by remelting sprues and adding them back in. Hot plate is an open element and heat might be a bit to much. Just to let you know I filled six molds 8 times so it did take awhile.
