honeycomb pallets???

Thanks for the info. Good to hear they are not a sensitive as they say. I always get worried when I leave the flash on too long when heating the boards or when I start a run and put it on like 10 seconds to get the flash warmed up and then 100 shirts in I for got to turn the flash down and the boards are almost too hot to touch.

You shouldn't do that. Pallet abuse is the number one leading cause of premature pallet death. We call it pallicide!

But what if it's extremely old, and really wants to die?  Is pallanasia morally wrong?   

The one thing I've heard many, many, times about how HC platens usually are damaged/delaminate was from dropping them. 
Of course, they're so light, you SHOULDN'T have any problems...  but that doesn't stop some people.

Can you repair minor dents on HC pallets?

I have heard high temp automotive bondo works. I haven't done it. I would make sure wgat ever you use is high temp and sticks on aluminum.

I'm a little out of touch, but I've never seen high temp Bondo, but would assume that a metal-filled epoxy like JB weld would be good for this as well.

Like I said I have never used it. Another shop told me his guys have dented the f@ck out of his boards. Then he told me high temp bondo work to fix them. I have never seen high temp Bondi either.

I actually now remember being told about an expensive body filler used when powder coating back when I was doing some gas tanks.

I'd not heard of this material before. It's less than 1/2 the price of the epoxy that we have been using. I'll be getting a sample of it. Thanks for sharing that tidbit MK.

just wondering, would the filler change the heat dispersion and make the platen have hot spots?
