    75 watt ext using thermark on a chrome derby cover

    I use lmm14 all the time on flasks, yeti's whatever and have never had a problem. Can anyone set me up with some speed and power settings to get the thermark to stick to chrome? I used 75 power and 17 speed and it just washed off. Any help would be greatly appreciated you guys.

    Thanks

    Not sure why you are using 75% power, Ferro recommends 100% power and speed to suit. Do a power grid with 100% power and vary the speed in increments of 5 until you get something that sticks, then vary the speed in increments of 1 around that setting. If you have some reason to use 75% then do the same thing using 75% instead.

    I generally go 100% power 10% speed. but also make sure these are not coated. cheers!

    If those are Chinese made derby covers good luck. There seems to be an issue with the plating that causes the Cermark not to adhere. The OEM stuff made in the U.S. is ok.
