Thanks for the comments. As you know I ...Hi Bernie<br />Thanks for the comments. As you know I usually use the heat gun (95% of the time) - I did not want to invest in a electric skillet either. But I also find it easier to reheat with a gun if the Friendly Plastic starts to go cold. How about not being as enthusiastic with your heat gun!! Lift the teflon sheet and when it bends you know it is ready! If you also 'waft' your gun around the piece it is better than leaving it in one spot. I do have one customer who uses hot water and keeps it hot by using the plate warmers with the candles underneath (like in the Chinese restaurants). However I have never tried it to know if it keeps it hot enough.<br />I will probably see you at G-Mex in a couple of weeks time so mention it to me and we can discuss it there.<br />Many thanks GillianGillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064507175435476879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612937810798723787.post-1319460793569464992011-01-16T02:33:07.984-08:002011-01-16T02:33:07.984-08:00Hi Gillian

I just love FP but I would like to know what do others use as a heating receptical to melt FP i.e. Liz Welch on C&C uses an electric skillet but I find these extremely expensive for the amount of use it would get. I use a heat gun but find I am over heating sometimes. I am in the process of opening a craft workshop in Sowerby Bridge West Yorkshire and I am trying to keep my costs as low as possible for the time being and any tips and hints would be very useful. PS can't stand Facebook but love the blog.BFNBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07012486159073825706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612937810798723787.post-54057664764085829062011-01-10T01:51:26.720-08:002011-01-10T01:51:26.720-08:00I think I need to let you know that I am not Liz w...I think I need to let you know that I am not Liz who was on Create & Craft. She found Friendly Plastic long before I did and can be created with developing many techniques. You can see me at Exhibitions up and down the country - trading under the name of Molten Designs. I do demonstrations on the stand, and of course I do some things differently to Liz - as we all develop our own ideas etc. (But I do agree about Create & Craft - the presenters can be somewhat 'over the top'!)Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064507175435476879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612937810798723787.post-67831082528041958672011-01-08T15:51:48.297-08:002011-01-08T15:51:48.297-08:00I'm so glad to have found your blog & site...I'm so glad to have found your blog & site, as I'm fed up screaming at Create & Craft to stop their incessant waffling whilst you are trying to get a word in edgeways about something we actually WANT to hear about!Oh, that feels better.I run a tiny craft business from home (Artinkulate)& use FP quite a lot in my work.I'll try & send some images.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925291205171162074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612937810798723787.post-60105597553492175732011-01-08T08:19:42.147-08:002011-01-08T08:19:42.147-08:00Thanks Dianne - hope you are OK soon.

Unfortunately I haven't played with it yet as I have been ill, but he has! If I make anything half decent I will sen you a photo. I look forward to reading your blog and hopefully getting some tips as well. I've only been blogging for about 6 months but I do enjoy it. I love your cat, she is beautiful. Ours died last year, he was 17, so he'd had a good innings!
