Simple and cheaply available at any boot sale for a coupleof pound, and perfectly sized for the garage/workshop.

A sandwich toaster/hotplate.

Heats up cases evenly with the heat top and bottom, largewr cases just leave it open and flat.





 
What a good idea :thumb2

However I can't believe that I didn't think of this last month when I skipped an old sandwich toaster :blast
 
good idea. Don't do what I did once and barbeque them, it gets too hot and distorts them.:blast
Also an old burco boiler/tea urn type thing is good for heating cases as well as cleaning them.

You noticed :D Thats was just an example picture, you know, for health & safety reasons to prevent hundreds of PM's from confused people with their hands trapped in the toaster.
 
I'm actually amazed. I'd never had thought of that.

Though I reckon your about to cause a spate of tossers sleeping on the sette after taking kitchen appliances to service the gs.
 
Anybody got a camping gaz light, it works a treat on bevel bearings :augie

We have used a deep fat fryer to heat bearings for gearbox repairs, you can even control the temp if you get a posh one!
 
In the army in the early eighties and the fecking cook forgot the cooking oil so cooked the chips in OMD75 (oil mineral detergent), heated it up skimmed the scum off the surface and then used, it!!!! they tasted like shit and he got a good kicking.
