This will help you tremendously during all seasons. Some molds like to be a little warmer than average. I had a few molds i would get air pockets and small dents in but once i began warming them it went away. This is a great step in the right direction.

Well, the last week or so the weather has been a bit too cold for me to be out in the un-insulated shed working...Currently 13* mean air temp, wind chill -4. Last night when my body had had enough, It was -9 mean air and I don't know what the wind chill was. supposed to have a couple of warmer day's, close to freezing, before the next storm hits us this week-end.

I just got my shed thawed out. It was completely impact with ice, but we finally got everything thawed out today and got to work in there for a little bit trying to get a couple of orders done. I had to use the toaster rub in to warm my own, my molds and injectors and everything up.

This cold is horrible. I had to take Ms. Joyce to an appt. this morning. I dropped her off at the door and went and parked the car. slipped getting out of the car. Wrenched my left hip due to cold tight muscles. nothing I've been able to take has helped yet. hopping it's better tomorrow. Glad you got your shop thawed out some. Looking forward to getting out to mine.

ordered up some glitter shredz. They are like super small sticks of glitter instead of the usual hexagon shape. Going to try my hand at a partial hand pour before shooting the back and tail. Hoping this fridged weather would break, the sooner the better. Shop was 16* today. With only an extension cord for power, running everything to cook plastic and a heater is too much. Need warm weather!!! Did I say I extremely dislike the cold!!!
