Does this need to be heat set? I'm painting a sofa and don't want a product that requires heat setting. Thanks! Paula

It does require heat set but I did mine with the hot setting on a hair dryer!

I'm not sure what you are asking. There is no heat involved in the cleaning action which is done with ultrasound waves.

I put heat on mine but i did it fast. I would not recommend keeping it on for a long time. And don't even try to curl it because the curl will not stay i tried multiple times.

POR 15 Glisten in my experience with the product is as heat resistant as most other automotive grade paints. In other words, it is not affected by heat up to and including engine bay temperatures. I use in on gun barrels and receivers and it is not affected by the heat of firing cartridges. It is pretty much imperivous to gasoline, as toluene or xyelene is required as a thinning agent. I agree with the first answer in that prep of surface is paramount. Area to be painted needs to be sanded and clean and wiped down with degreaser immediately prior to application. Hope this helps?

mine shuts on and off all the time. I think it is to keep from overheating although it is ultrasonic and does not use heat. It is probably getting sticky from all the oil and probably needs cleaning.

Botts,This has been edited, sorry... I originally posted that it COULD be run without heat, sorry for any confusion, I was thinking about one of our other ultrasonics. The unit can NOT be run without the heat, but you can adjust it.Hope this helps.Robert

No, once it is set it is solid, I steam clean also and it has held up beautifully. It actually is not set by heat it is melted and blended by heat and then cools back to the solid.

I just set it back and retap the keep warm setting and on button again. I think it only keeps warm till its removed then u have to set it again. It jsut won't need to heat up again.

Haven't tried but assume it to be the case. Its a thicker material. I say it wants to adhere to itself more than the paint. Hence I expect with a bit of heat it would pull off without harm. It wouldn't hurt to clean and wax first though.

It should be heated up by 48 hours. Your heater is probably faulty. Mine always ended up running hotter than set temperature, and I had to switch mine to another heater.

Yes...I believe people bake items in oven to make this paint permanent. I am unsure of temp./time, but if no one answers with that info, try Googling. I know that I found that info accidentally when I Googled this set for more information/reviews prior to my purchase...I just don't recall the details!

The surface of mine does not get hot at all - just barely warm. The wall above mine (we have plaster walls), gets hot. But not too hot to touch. Just very hot.

No, my unit works without any heat problem. I recommend this product very well.

I have only used this for ice, and it's an excellent product. My guess is that it was not designed to be heated. I think that putting it in the microwave might harm the fabric.

I am a licenced esthetician and the unit should feel "warm", NEVER hot. If you are receiving a treatment from a professional and it IS hot, they have not been properly trained and are using it incorrectly.

Warm And Dry Is What You Are Always Looking For When Painting Anything. I Wouldn't Do It Unless It's A Heated Garage
