This one escaped me all together here.
Good evening everyone.
I built one altogether different, and not to hi-jack a thread by
Any means. Maybe some help.
The concern with melting is fair enough. Here's the tip.
Plastic starts to get funky at about 120*F This is the lower
End of sondes zone, your mileage maybe different. At
140*F your done.
To safeguard or at least to check your temps, what you
need is what we used to call a 'pulp thermometer' is used. The
reason is, they are adjustable. Place in a glass of ice H20 and
they should read 33*. If not adjust the nut on the back.
These are the ones with the upper scale that may go to
200-250*F anything above that and we are roasting duck
and not drying paint. Lol.
