I love Thermo-loc and your smile.

[@jamesstays7192]

I love this girl...

[@less121]

can you use it for chasing/repousse i.e. does it have some give? I'd love the idea of not having to clean when you turn it over. Plus, can you not loosen your work with a bit of heat gun action? I guess you could always use hot water to soften it... Great product anyways!

[@jcmcatalan]

Cool...

What dissolves thermal lock if it gets into a hole or locked in space that you can’t get it into for instance denatured alcohol dissolves Beatles shellac is there any product that works in the same way

[@andreasandi1570]

Hello Molly, Thermo-Loc is great, but I have a question: have you got any tip to remove little pieces of Thermo-Loc that remain in some holes under a pave setting? Thank You.

[@Grstools]

The best thing is to wrap the piece to prevent thermo-loc from getting into the spaces- plastic grocery bags work good for this. I am guessing the problem is already in place though- You can either try to pick out the little pieces and heat slightly if needed; or, Rio Grande sells this solvent called Attack- it shouldn’t hurt the piece but will dissolve the thermo-loc when soaked. www.riogrande.com/searchresults#q=attack&t=products&sort=relevancy&layout=card&numberOfResults=36

Can it be used for repousse in place of pitch? I.e. does it have a slight give when cold?

[@Grstools]

Hello, Thermo lock acts much like pitch. It requires heating and when cooled it is very hard. It does not have much give.

Good

Your link you posted is dead Ma'am.

[@andijvie3119]

What will happen if you overheat the thermoloc, for example using a torch to make it soft, will it lose its usefulness?

[@Grstools]

Hey, it will boil and bubble and burn you. After that it will get super sticky and be of no use. You could still use a torch to heat it up (people use heat guns) you would just want to keep a decent distance and avoid the flame actually hitting the thermo-loc.

What if you don't have a teflon plate?

[@Grstools]

If you don't have access to a PTFE pad, you can use hot water to heat the Thermo-Loc®. You can find the link to the Thermo-Loc® literature here: grs.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/LIT-230_ThermoLoc_20.pdf
