Have you read that the DK3 is 6 mins? If so, that could be from cold to cooked time. I only used to set my DK3 for 3/4 minutes if I remember but it does have other settings that I never went into.

Hi justin,
Hmmm… Interesting. I was basing my info solely on this review :

[url="http://www.dyesub.org/articles/mugreviewpart2.php]http://www.dyesub.org/articles/mugreviewpart2.php[/url]

but having re-read it I think I have jumped to the wrong conclusion. It actually says " twice as long as the fastest press " I was thinking twice as long as my press or 2 x 3 mins. plus.
So very keen to hear from an actual user. Reading the review I am mostly quite keen and it was only the ' soak ' that gives me pause for thought. May I ask why you didn't get on so well with yours ?

I am mostly getting on quite well with the oven, but it is a little tedious as I only intend to do a small amount of mugs [ maybe 1 box per month ] and it is not as much fun as the press ! I will try to find some more clamps this week and at least I can do a few at a time, making it a bit more productive.

Lol & many thanks,
Kaz.
