That has the advantage of not requiring a thermometer. It has two disadvantages. First, the faster process is harder to control precisely. I therefore prefer the lower temperature process. I have not done any extensive experimentation on what happens at intermediate temperatures.
Easy Projects Making flat pieces such as lamellae or scales is easy.
If I want my lamellae slightly curved in the horizontal direction, to provide a little additional stiffness and to better fit my body, I take a cooking pot with a diameter of a foot or more, line up the lamellae around it while they are still flexible, tie them on with a strip of rag, and let them dry that way. Leave it there for fifteen minutes or so. Trim off any surplus. Leave it somewhere to dry. This makes it possible to form pieces.
