My (flat) roof is leaking and I have bought 3 five lb buckets of roofing tar, it is very thick, I need to use the drill press with a paint mixing paddle to mix it properly, and because of the cold temperatures, it is even more viscous. I want to use a 1,500 W/120 V hot water heating element to bring the temperature up to about 145 F and keep it there while I am mixing and until it is applied on the roof. Can anyone think of a cheap and easy way to vary the current thru the element? Once it is hot enough, I will want to turn it down until it gets on the roof.
The stuff is much much easier to work with when hot, and I feel it soaks into all the little nooks and crannies in the roof much better.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Thx
