RedRum Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I’m looking for advice on how to use my riteheat pot to get plastic to temp and avoid degradation. It seems like if I put the plastic in and set it to 350ish it doesn’t quite get to 350ish. It seems like I need to go higher first and then set thermostat. This seems to have potential for overheating and degradation. Im sure I’m doing something wrong. Once I’m at workable plastic, the pot keeps me rocking as long as I need. I stand by and stir as it gels but it seems like without the lid on it just won’t get there at 350. I’m not sure if I put the plastic in, set it and cover it and come back to it later if it is good for it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
