First coat drying as I type. I'm liking the greenhouse, good light, good airflow and no dust after everything was misted. And it's 80deg! Looks like I got a new spray booth.

[Roy from Pa]

I'm gonna call and tell yer wife:)

Looks good, Flem.

How warm do y’all heat up bows to cure glue? It hit 101 today in Tallahassee, I bet my garage would work fine as an oven...

[Bvas]

I usually do 120 overnight, but have done a couple at only 100. Still not brave enough to do the 24hr room temp cure.

Flem, I’ve seen guys put the shelf on the wrong side. But that was left and right. Never seen anybody put one on the bottom. How ya supposed to keep an arrow on that???   Looks good though

It a space bow, anti gravity shooting only. 

I'm gonna call and tell yer wife:)

I'll be in trouble if it still stinks when she gets home! This will be a good test of what I can get away with.

Woodpuppy, the rule of thumb for epoxy is, for every 18deg above 72 the cure time is cut in half.
So a 24hr cure epoxy will cure in your 101deg garage in 10-12hrs.

Got the last coat on. The greenhouse was up to 90deg.  Flashed off in less than 10min. Hopefully we won't be eating toxic greens for dinner

Once my father in law was using a product called “rexthane” to refinish floors in our house. He put one of his brushes in the freezer so he could use it the next day, I guess he thought that would halt the product curing? Anyway the food from the fridge tasted a bit off and we ended up pitching a couple hundred dollars worth of groceries. All so he could save a $2 brush 🙄

I'm happy to report nothing. My wife got home about 2hrs after I sprayed the last coat, she went to the g-house to get some spinach. No comment, nothing. I'm good to go with my new spray booth.
