am going to attempt to build an oven. I was looking at buying a 350W Infrared Food Warmer and using it as a heating element. Will that be enough power if i put it inside a confined space? I have seen shop ovens good to 400 degrees done w/ 250W elements, but I dont know if the food warmer works different. Also, what is about the minimum temperature and time for curing for GunKote or Norrels. Thanks! -Ryan |
| Infra red is hard to control when working with a temperature sensitive epoxy base like GK. Your better off cannibalizing a small electric grill or oven and using a thermocouple or other accurate thermometer to gauge your temp. I forget the specific temp but its in the 325-400 degree range. |
Not trying to be a jerk, but there's a Refinishing forum under the Armory section. I'm sure they'll give you lots of great suggestions over there. I just saw a very cool post the other day about just this topic, but I think it was on another board, and I can't find it, sorry
