I have an OT Defense 25w and a 30W from Harbor Freight. I seem to be struggling lately in getting a good burn on a PF940C job I have going with either wattage, especially on the tips that have finer details in them. What burner are you all using on the various P80 frames? My understanding is the SS has more glass content in the frame and is even harder to work with. I've done OK with each size of P80 frame, but I wonder if I've pushed my burners too hard and now they are under-performing.
Thats odd
I have stippled 9 p80s but only one Glock, I found the Glock harder to stipple but I had no problem keeping my iron hot. I have an OD Defense 30w iron. It does sound like you need a new iron if it is not staying hot.
Having a constant heat with your iron is key for a pattern to look the same.
I'm doing a Lone Wolf now; it seems like it has more fill in the plastic than a P80, but it is not a problem to stipple.
