Here is a tip for heating your thermoplastic from @sterlingandstonepgh
- “I use my Keurig to heat water! Keurig brewers have a default temperature of roughly 190 degrees, a mere few seconds away from being the perfect temperature for compound-softening water (and saving you one heck of a mess!).” Thanks for this video and idea Kate! I’d love to see different ways people use thermoplastic to secure their work!
