Scott Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Works fine. I normally go for 100 deg c. Don't go any higher though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I haven't tried a gas oven so couldn't comment or recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronttuk Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 And how long at 100 deg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Usually 10-15 mins. Don't worry they won't burn at that temp. If you want to be extra safe 80deg c is fine too, just takes a little longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 On this subject sort of, is there an easy way to remove the old very sticky sealant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Done it a few times now and yes it really does work and no it doesn't melt them. The best results I had was at around 90 - 100°C for about 10/15 mins. Found I needed a fair bit longer for the back lights though.
