If you have only the wire rack shelves, you will get much better consistency if you will add marble slabs to the shelves, for the extraction to sit on.

As already noted, there is a wide variation in material, so more information is needed to truly ferret out your culprit, but you can reduce the range of deviations, which typically also reduces the unscheduled waxing problems.

Thanks for all the answers, my friends!

I have this really bad fear that it IS something other than the oven. It could easily be moisture. I hate it when I'm not in control!

RB - could I have your e-mail pls?

My advice for people looking for ovens is to find a local used lab supply company. That way you can go in person, check it out/test it, ask what it was used for, etc. There are some very good condition used vacuum ovens around for a decent price. I got a used Yamato 1cu ft for $1900+tax. The Yamato hold very stable temps. It is 5+ years old and works great. Have had it on for a month straight without any hiccups. Replaced the gasket for $6 after accidentally ripping the original one during cleaning.

I've seen a 1 cu ft VWR operate with good success. The three shelves vary + or - 1 degree F. It was purchased for $2000, a few years old. Practically new condition, solid shelves. Doesn't seem to hold temps quite as stable as the Yamato. The Yamato temps don't fluctuate after opening the door and leaving it open for a few minutes.

Trying to figure out how to get these precise clear slabs that Xtracted and others are getting.

Good idea on going used to save money. It is just a crap shoot and we often need things now rather than when we can find it.

I'm sure they are just running really good quality material. They might be also running propane, but that is a guess.

Bump.

First and foremost, a huge thank you to those that have shared their experience, and contributed to this thread.
Was interested in seeing if anybody has developed any new ideas on stabilizing and evening out heat distribution?

I'm currently recovering from my second hip replacement,(right side in March, left side was done 3weeks ago) and will be using the 1.9 as soon as I'm back on my feet.

I have read the entire thread, and greatly appreciate all the wonderful tips left by the community.
I even created a list of all the suggestions, to refer to when I am ready to rock.

Just curious if anybody has developed/generated that is not mentioned already?

Thanks in advance!

I recently invested in 2 pieces of glass cut to the size of my shelf (a whopping $6). I pancake my slab between 2 sheets of parchment and place that between the 2 pieces of glass. I put it in the oven and vac immediately at 95 degrees. After an hour or so I have an evenly distributed slab. I remove the top glass and parchment and continue with my purge from there. It works significantly better than rolling it flat, which I try to refrain from ever doing. I have only been doing it for a few days, and it really seems to cut down on purge time and inconsistencies in my slabs.

What a sweet idea!

Hee, hee, hee, slick!

So HashoftheTitans did you just go to a residential glass shop for the glass and cutting?

 

[HashoftheTitans]

I went to a local Ace hardware. Almost any large building supply chains have the equipment do straight cuts. I would imagine if you were wanting round pieces cut for a chamber you would have better luck at a glass shop.

 

[Jdubba]

did they have the glass there?

 

[HashoftheTitans]

The local Ace cut it to size for me and it cost $3/sq ft.
