For mine, I cut the bottoms out of all the rings but two so I could stack them to have clearance for up to 3 bodies on the bottom rack, and I can put the roof flaps, hoods, and deck lids on the top rack. I set the temp at 95* and that is where it stays. 95* works great for plastic and metal. Leave the parts in for an hour or two, or even over night if I decide to be lazy that day. Paint is nice and cured, and ready to go. As long as you leave it at the lowest setting, usually around 95*, plastic models will be just fine.

Thanks Stoney. Will have to get one. Are they all the same basically? You want to be able to control the heat. Some versions come with a control knob allowing you to adjust the temperature. Mine came from the sale rack at Aldi's, just a straight plug-in model. I then went to Harbor Freight and bought a variable power controller to be able to dial back the heat. I don't know anything about diecasts, but do not subject plastic to any heat over 110 degrees. |
