Finding it hellish…anything over 28° and I’m melting. Office faces west and gets sun majority of day…no through breeze as windows and doors on same side…fan just turbo charges the warm air!
Vinyl application hard inside or outside as ambient temp high…dark vans are killer as the vinyl is actually blistering with micro bubbles due to the minute amount of air trapped under it as it expands just sitting in the car park as the panels get up to 70+°c. Never known anything like it since I started.Prints drying fine…
Having to drink 2-3 litres a day just to stay alive!

I spend to long frozen stiff in agnoy from the cold I can take any amount of this for the time being.
Adjusted the machines and fitting times to suit -
Doing my printing late at night as the latex printer sends the workshop temperature up to 33c 😮 😮

So should I turn my aircon off so I know what you are all going on about :lol1: This isn’t heat (says he who comes from the humid coast of South Africa 😉 )
We have a wrao to do end of next week so hopefully a little cooler buy then, I’m trying to stay out the workshop as much as possible although hope it lasts as I’m going to Cornwall for 5 days at the end of the week 🙂

So your heat exchanger is still doing the job then Warren? I still haven’t got around to getting one…

Oh yes it’s awesome, got 2 of them now, one in each room since the expansion. They are costly to buy but not bad running costs and heats and cools really well.
