Anyone think this is a bad idea

Does anyone feel like this is a bad idea? If so what do you do.
 
 I have used these flood lights to heat up my overlays for a couple hours and then leaving clamped over night and continue working the next day.
This is the 3rd time I've used this method on a handle now. I don't have enough 6inch c clamps to get everything tightened down so I use the pony and therefore can't get it in my hotbox.

Im using Smooth on by the way.

I appreciate your feedback,
Ty

I do that with one light.  It can get pretty warm so keep an eye on it.

Should work out okay.  I think it was Bill Howland of Brackenbury bows who said in an interview he never heated his risers when he glued them up, just cured them at room temp.

I would monitor the temp and keep it under 120 in that set up because one side is getting cooked and the other is not...  I would get some more C-clamps and put it in the oven... High heat can be hell on woods... I feel that it is good that you have it wrapped in plastic...  It will help to keep the moisture content from changing too drastically...

Sweet thanks for the feed back. Gonna make a few trips to h-freight and use up some of these 20% off one item coupons for some c clamps then.

I quit cooking risers after reading that article. Your method will be more than enough!

My TD risers do not get heated. May put them outside on a hot day to speed things a bit. One piece ones get heat after the glueup is cured in the hot box.
