[TheForge] Hot box

Sat Jul 27 14:02:00 2002

I want something larger than a kitchen oven.  I've already got one of these 
outside in the shop, now I want something bigger.

I'm thinking that common convection oven is my best bet.

What's the best method of heating?  It's for powder coating, so would the 
H2O byproduct of the flame be a problem with the coating as it cures?
