Heat controller build help
I can do/figure out a lot of things but electrical work is not one of them and time doesn't permit me to learn right now. IS there anyone out there who I can hire to build me a controller for my new press? Thanks

Most controllers are done with PID controllers and solid state relays. Super simple set up, but I recently stumbled upon this pre-made Inkbird controller. http://www.homebrewsupply.com/inkbird-d ... aQodxRgHDw. Costs a little more than it would if you made one, but probably less than it would cost to have someone build you one. Only downside is its only 110v but that may not be an issue with your blankets.

you don't need to build controller. Line voltage thermostat can be used to control blankets… I'm using those without any problems.
Simple to set up, simple wiring… Inexpensive. Can be wired for 110 or 220… 16 A in 110; 8 A in 220. Comes with T.C. ..... What else can I say practically plug-and-play

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

I built one using a PID controller, SSR, and power entry module having a switch and fuses. All parts sourced on eBay.
If you can't do this maybe you should consider commercial temperature process controllers such as those shown in this link:
