Les Young Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Most plastic has to get to around 350 to fully cook. You'll more than likely have to let it cool a little to where the plastic will build on your dipping rods depending on how thick you want the walls on your first dip. If heating in a microwave different colors will get thinner then others so you'll have to worry about usability more so than temp after the initial heating until it's gets to cool to use. You'll get it pretty quick with a little experimentation. Sorry for the way i replied as far as actual temp info, but this is just what i found when dipping tubes myself. I never use a thermometer after i have a pretty good handle on what my microwave takes to get to temp, but definitely recommend one until you get yours down pat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
