Hi all, I know the answer is here. It I can’t find it now that I’m looking, if I wanted to press between 4 and 6 coasters at a time, how much extra time should I be adding? I’m using uni sub mdf coasters .
thanks in advance .

We don't add any extra time, 60 secs regardless. 1 coaster or 12 for example.

Justin is correct (as always! Ha Ha). Whether you do one coaster or 12 then the time is the same although on our large Adkins press we use 190c and 125s.

Agreed - even when we're doing glass coasters - 180C for 240 seconds if one coaster of 12
We try and always do then in 12s as more efficient on staff/machine time

Thanks everyone, I’m only ever doing small batches but I ended up with an order for 42 coasters and didn’t fancy opening and closing the press 42 times ��.
Thanks again !
