[R-390] How to bake without a oven or grill?

[Ed Tanton]

I just wait 'til the XYL is definitely NOT going to be around for 3-4 
hours, and put it in the oven on LOW (sometimes called something like "Keep 
Warm"). This seems to be above 125 degrees F, and does an awesome job of 
wrinkling black-wrinkle paint (for example.) I also turn ON the house A/C 
fan, and the downstairs bathroom's exhaust fan. Generally works out fine.

I have a solid brass 75A-4 knob I'm going to do with 1st a coat or 2 of 
primer, and then some black epoxy enamel. Same basic methods.

Here in the South, with dark paint colors, on very non-windy days (so 
there's no dust or pollen), you CAN just place the item to be painted 
outside in the sun. Not quite as good as the oven, but no smells either. 
You've surely tested the power of this heat once or twice with the under 
side of your arm... on your automobile's window edge!!!
