As the temperature rises on my thermocouple, if I kill the heater and take a quick IR reading of the solder stop, the IR readings are 100F - 125F higher than the thermocouple. After resting 15-20 seconds the thermocouple and IR readings equalize (the thermocouple reading increases slightly, mostly just the IR readings drop).

--- End quote ---

IR gun might be reflecting off the board and measuring the back of your oven.

That is less likely to happen if the gun is perpendicular to the board.
