Ryno Plastics Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Need some HELP! I recently purchased my 1st Pro Pot and love it! BUT, cleaning the darn thing is a major pain! I can't seem to find a good, easy way to clean up all that left over plastic and flake that's stuck on the bottom of the pot. The pouring spout prevents my hand from giving it a good scrubing and I can't find any other method that works! If any of you can share their 2 cents I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.

woodsac Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Ryan, I'm pretty sure that in the past I've heard the other guys say that they use a wire brush on a drill or dremel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball Lures Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yeah he's got it I use a wire brush on an electric drill it's the way to go I've tried everything and it is by far the easiest. You may go through some wire brushes here and there but it's easy to clean. You can get them at any hardware supply store I'm sure.

kidlizard Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Ryno, I dont know what kind of plastic you are using, but we have recently been using 3-G. (currently testing calhouns) With 3-G plastic, pot cleaning was a major pain until we added heatstabilizer. For some reason after adding the heat stabilizaer, clean up is a snap. We just loosen the nuts enough to allow removal of the pour rod (never overtighten because its not necessary) roll down the plastic to the bottom and the whole thing pops out with no scrubbing at all. Its really great!! Sometimes some flake will be stuck to the bottom, but I just use a spoon and loosen it up then swish around some alcohol and pour it out. I then wipe the pot down with some worm oil and ready to go. Takes about 3 minutes. We add 3 oz of heat stabilizer per gallon. Sometimes a q-tip will help get the flake around the pour spout. Try not to scratch up your pot with wire brushes, because it makes cleaning harder. Hope this helps.........Good luck, a pouring pot changes everything.

Mercury Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I agree with fireball. Thats how I have done it and I havent had scratches in my pot. I only clean it maybe 2x in 3 months. ( unless plastic actualy gets burnt) But then again, I pour mostly with pyrex, (talk about easy clean up!) And as far as adding heat stabiliser. Most definately! colors are MUCH brighter, Rarely gets over cooked. (colors will darken or change all together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
