Cmeza Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Can you use an electric griddle to keep re-heats down by placing your Pyrex cup on top after you already finished using the microwave? I use m-f plastic and was wondering how long do you guys usually leave it in the microwave? After a couple of re-heats my colors get darker so I want to stop that. I usually heat it then stop and then stir in 30sec intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally do 15-30 second bursts but I return it to the micro as soon as my molds are full. I don't let it set around on the workbench and start cooling. I always add heat stabilizer when I reheat. I have found that white and chartreuse are the ones that change colors fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that's what I do but yah the white and chartreuse colors are the ones I justed used and turned dark pretty quick that's why I was asking that question. I'll will add heat stabilizer before every re-heat to see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
