I was doing a dry run with my Corretto-in-progress, testing my self-fibreglass-insulated thermocouple up to 260*C, when I noticed the heatgun melting down instead!!!!
Blah.
The thermocouple exposed tip was melting back, so Id better not take it over 230*C again, and the white and blue covering of the thermocouple was beginning to yellow under the fibreglass.
EDIT update: everything seems fine when I keep it below 220*C, but I have to keep the HG nozzle out of the pan, which is a small one anyway so heat distribution is pretty easy. Out with a fan to keep the HG cool... ahhh, of course that works!
Consistency in temps starts to show on my DMM.
