Anyone still using a pig warmer for chemical warming? If so, how is it working for you?

I was contemplating the warmer and thermostat from Farmtek. How warm can it get? Can you actually go 40F higher than room temp? If so it might be ideal for tray processing color prints.

Not well. The pig kept escaping. The damn animal was never all that warm, anyway.

I have the Farmtek as does my next door neighbor. I set the temp once and it has been constant ever since. I can warm 4 11x14 trays or 3 16x20 trays..Evan Clarke

Do you think it could warm chems from a room temp of 60F up to 100F?

I know what you mean. The pig I had was well trained and had a sweater. So I lucked out!
