the present invention provides a method of resurfacing a fuser member in - situ . the method includes providing a fuser member having an outer surface of a high temperature fluorothermoplastic . when it is determined that the outer surface is in need of resurfacing , the fuser member is rotated at a speed of at least 1 rpm while engaging the outer surface of the fuser member with at least one heating roller at a pressure of at least 5 psi at a temperature of at least 10 ° c . below the fluorothermoplastic melting temperature for a time sufficient to resurface of the outer surface of the fuser member .
