ST3042 membrane bursting

[Phil7465]

I keep seeing videos of the ST3042 on YouTube doing plates at 195 degrees for 7 or 8 minutes. It was taking me 15 minutes at the same temperature to do a 10 inch plate. Then the silicone membrane after the 3rd plate. I replaced it with the spare one I got with the machine from Signzworld. I have lowered the temperature to 160 but it is taking over 20 minutes to do a plate now. Can anyone help?

Have you got both ovens turned on?

Yes. Both ovens are turned on although I have to say it did a good job but seems too long. Thanks for your reply.

The gauges on the vacuum presses are woefully inaccurate so I wouldn’t worry too much about time or temp as long as you are getting good results
