Methods

Spec+Plus should be heated in a vessel designed for heating hot pour crack sealants. Some means of agitation and monitoring of temperature are recommended. The range of safe heating temperature for the product is between 325-375° F. At no time should this product be heated to 425° F. This can degrade the polymers in Spec+Plus and create a fire hazard. A direct fire melter can be used if these precautions are met. It also is suitable for use in an oil-jacketed double boiler. Because Spec+Plus contains no fillers, it is an excellent product for use through pumping type kettles.
