Right now I'm Heating Boltaron 4335 at 50% for 5 mins in that time I'm seeing glossing "Shiny" areas where the oven is over heating the plastic I have screened the oven with a Metal mesh to create heat deflection but I'm still getting glossing so i tried turning the heat down to 40 % and a wait time of 10 mins and the plastic won't get up to temp. I like to form at 370 degrees and I'm running out of ideas. Would a thin aluminum plate help shield the heat from the plastic and even out the heating?? Looking for ideas.<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
Rob<br>
