I need to make a new steam box. The plywood one I made has delaminated after several years. If I make a new one from wood, it will be solid. However, I really like the idea of a PVC steam tube. Unfortunately, the Schedule 40 one I made melted and sagged very quickly.
I've read that Sch 80 is better, and even Peter Galbert seems to have used one. However, the melt temperatures of all pvc appears to be under 180 degrees, so won't it all melt?
Any advice appreciated.
