Good question... I will need to check. But I am sure if I was hitting 350C it would burn up. It seems as though the gel state is developing is being disrupted by the stirrer. Would help a ton if someone with an Ultramolds SS would be able to Skype and assist if/were possible. Having trouble getting hold of Rupert and them.

Okay... so I put the temp to 350 for about 8 turn ons and downs and then turned it down to 298. The mix once again went chunky and was stupid difficult to draw from the tanks. It did however cure faster. I have the stirrers going constantly from startup... I am starting to think the stirrers are causing the chunkiness and jello type consistency. thoughts? Should I leave the stirrers off until Colour and glitter are to be added?

Thanks Cub48. I got my system from Rupert in November/December last year, I hope it has the alternative PID's as you mention. I will definitely try the heating process advised and then revert back. Thanks you for all the comments thus far.

So you mix your color and flake in the gel state plastisol before adding them into the SS pots? I find my SS system fluctuates rather dramatically between the PID's kicking in and turning off. Are you also experiencing temperature fluctuations between set temp and final temp it registers? I will definitely try your way as well. Thanks for the advice DaveMc1

Thank you for your advice UTE... I will most definitely give it a bash your way and revert back.

The Ultramolds pots are sealed up proper. I am almost certain that the plastisol is not heating up quick enough. Perhaps should push the boundaries and get the plastisol transparent and then turn down the heat before scorching as you mention. Hopefully someone also using a Ultramolds dual pot unit will also have some advice on how they are heating their plastisol and what temp they set the pots initially. Thanks, Stewber

Hi guys, I am looking to pick some willing souls brain that is making use of an Ultramolds shooting star system? Please let me know if willing and would be able to skype to discuss? Alternatively me issue is my plastisol ends up chunky like mushed up jelly in the mixing pots and not smooth honey like consistency. Am I heating too slowly? Should I be heating faster? Also getting a ton of air in the plastisol and lots of hollow baits while struggling through. Any advice is welcomed. Regards, Stewber
