Just finished trying the first light... FAILURE!!!
We went for 200 degrees, initially for 11 minutes because we wanted to make sure the silicone was nice and gooey and easy to remove.... Well it wasn't. We pulled for probably 2 minutes full strength, got the first coupe tabs pried off but we could tell it wasn't hot enough, so we tossed it back in at 200 degrees for another 4 minutes, it hadn't been out of the oven for that long and was still hot.
We pulled it out, immediately went at it with mechanix gloves, no budging. I've watched Nut_N_Much's video and could tell I was pulling hard enough it just was still not hot enough. So we went for an additional 7 minutes at 200 degrees.
This time, it started hinting at coming apart but no crackling of the silicone was heard, the light was still obviously not hot enough, so we're going to call it a night. The light is still in perfect shape and I pushed it back together before the silicone fully hardened. So now I have to ask, HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THESE THINGS OPEN?!?!?!?!
I've heard people say
"250 will melt your lights"
"250 for 10 minutes is perfect"
"Never go over 200 degrees and 15 minutes max"
Blah blah F'n blah
What am I doing wrong?
