Jig Man Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have been reading about some of you guys using them. I saw NorPor and NuPor mentioned but I haven't been able to find a source. Can someone give me a link or a store that carries them? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I like the Norpro ones. I got mine at a local kitchen store. There's a bunch on eBay too http://www.ebay.com/...-All-Categories Edited December 2, 2011 by bryanmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks for the tip on a home store. It looks like Bed Bath and Beyond has one with a no slip grip good to 650°. I never would have thought to look at a place like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 A word of caution from experience- 1-They get hot quickly-use heat resistant gloves 2-Do not fill more then 5/8 full 3-They are soft of flimsy when used in a microwave to heat plastisol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Here are the ones I use: http://www.amazon.co...g/dp/B002MKP24K They are soft and flimsy when they are full of heated plastisol, like smallmouthaholic said, so be careful and take your time. I wear heavy gloves, pinch the top with a metal clip to form a smaller spout for hand pouring, and don't fill them past half full. A quarter full is ideal. I usually leave a stir rod in the cup when I pour, so I can keep the hot plastic stirred while pouring. I find the plastic stays hot enough to pour for two minutes with them, as opposed to 30 seconds with Pyrex. At least, thats how it works out for the way I pour. They are relatively cheap, so I have five. That way, I can heat several different colors at the same time, for laminates.

Jig Man Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 I drove in to the BB and B. They did not have the cups in stock but ordered them for me. They will be delivered in a week or so. I hope they keep plastisol warm long enough for me to get the second 4 tube injection with maybe only 1 reheat. It takes 3 30s. shots with my Pyrex.
