Light bulbs / Heat source / Curing box

[Kopper1013]

Go to you local electrical supply house. I was able to get 300W bulbs there. I bought the 200W bulbs first but they only got my box to 139 degrees. I've read that halogen bulbs and heat lamp bulbs creat hot spots in your box and will cause the epoxy to cure at different paces.

I recently built a hot box. The local Lowes had 150 watt bulbs I think they were for shop use. I also believe they had 200 watt bulbs. 4 of the 150 would get it up to temp in my unheated shop when it was below freezing outside. 3 bulbs will work when it is warmer.

My box is made of 1/2" maple ply wood and foil lined inside. Dimensions are 84"L x 24H x 16W so it's a pretty large area to heat and 200W bulbs just didn't cut it.

I bought 12  150 watt, I received 60 watt
It is hard to contact them, they don't follow up

I sent the 60 watt back with a note, I still don't have my bulbs.
