Hi all.
Having recently incinerated a slate and toasted a mouse mat.......I thought I would seek advice from those who know. Could you please advise me on the following.
I need to know the temps and times for; Jigsaw puzzles, MDF coasters, Cork coasters, Glass coasters, Mouse mats (3mm & 5mm), the metal inserts for iphone covers and key rings, slates, cushion covers and, finally, Christmas stockings

Mucho thanks in advance

Dave :)

Check with the company you bought from as they usually give their times and temps on their web site different company's may very in times and temp.

There are quite a few variables as Reg says, and most companies have some great charts you can print off, here is a general guide from Sawgrass, but as they say you are best following your suppliers times/temps as they know their products the best

When setting temperatures make absolutely sure your press is switched to either the Fahrenheit or Celsius setting. Mistaking Fahrenheit for Celsius will definitely fry your items!
