Hand Crafted Angling Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I’m looking for an alternative for heating plastic other than a microwave. I looked into the presto pot but it seems like you need to be mixing up a gallon at a time to make it worth while. The main reason I wanted to make the switch is I want to try bait plastics flex x200 but it can’t be heated in a microwave. I was looking to do a small cheap setup for it.

Travis Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I typically used less than a gallon of plastic in the presto pot. As long as my stirrer kept it going good but definitely not something for small batch. Just go traditional.... electric burners were the mainstay for about everyone at one time. Lee plastic production pots (I never liked them). Long time ago guys constructed set ups with multiple heat lamps to heat pots. Might be able to find a few posts but these were a long time ago. Lots of ways to heat plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) A single element hot plate and some pans will work. I did that for years. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Single-Burner-120V-1100W-Portable-Easy-to-Cook-Elegant-Classic-Design/488054826?athbdg=L1102&from=/search Edited June 14, 2023 by Jig Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
