IR OVEN INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTES FOR CONVECTION OVEN
-
Pre-heat oven to 365º F and prime vacuum systems.
-
Prepare positive model by setting up fixture on distal end (such as TF-65) and use plaster to blend the edges.
-
Perform regular prep on positive model.
-
Place aluminum support ring (RM-AS) in oven supporting it by at least two sides (RM-CK support kit may be needed) making sure the inside diameter (I.D.) of the support ring is open.
-
Place ringmaster sheet on the aluminum support, then place second aluminum support ring (RM-AS) on top centered with plastic. Heat inside oven for approx. 15 min. When plastic droops (1/2- to 2/3 of model), open oven and pull the rack out. Grab the ringmaster and frame, take to model, flip like normal blister forming, pull down with a slight twisting motion and apply vacuum.
-
When cooled, take flat head screw driver and place between aluminum support and plastic then twist (this will separate the plastic and support). Remove the ring.
-
Now make trim lines and cut socket.
Note:
When using in a convection oven, flip the plastic as necessary to keep even wall thickness
