The heat master is now official tested, pressing skis. My "hacked" thermostat makes the temp between 79 and 85°C. I let the heater on for ca: 50min then turned it off and let the temp down to room temp. again. Took almost 2 h. After that I took the skis out of the press and voila! Pressed skis under 3h. So far so good...
Things I didn't thought about, as a table top I have foam PVC, didn't like 80°C...:(
So now I have to refresh/rebuild atleast the vac. table top.
It's always something!......

That's great about the heater! Let us know how the skis turns out. That's nice to be able to turn out a pair of skis in 3 hrs vs over night. Some day I'll have a heater.

Yup, it's always something.
