If you dont want to use just oil look for 2k paint for the boat industry. Not sure how they work in the cold and with flex, but i think its ok. Super durable and if you look on old restored riva wood boats the finish comes out marvelous. Very scratch resistant.

That is a good question. It could be just the veneer, but I suspect it is more as it has a bit of a permanent bend.
Sounds like more then the veneer when you encounter a permanent bend. Try to flex it again and you will see ;)

Yeah, my setup is on top aluminium and silicon heater above. On bottom a thick metal plate. I know that the commercial sublim presses (for t-shirts & co) use some cushion on the bottom. This cushion helps with small irregularities in your printing material (which should be not a big issue with t...

J or K wire is based on a special metal. Before i try to explain it from memory look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple you just weld the end of the two cables (each wire is different metal imho) and this connection is your sensor :) The smallest version looks like this: http://at.rs-o...

If you use a J-Type sensor all you need is J wires which you weld together at the tip (you can do that with a car battery). So you can make it as long as you wish and dia is 0.25mm or so. The only culprit, you need to use only this type of cable, you cannot extend it via a normal cable and if you wa...

I think you can convert your controller to J-Type (or K-Type) sensor, which is very small. There are some interface chips especially for that. Should be no big deal if you program it by yourself
