No typically you can't but if the coater wanted to use a baking lamp it could be done. Also there was someone on here about a month or so ago that said his powdercoater "found" a way to do it but I don't think we ever found out how... Quote

Really the easiest way is probably going to be a baking lamp. It would be best if it were one of the much higher wattage ones that use 220 volt to run. Quote
nicktoney Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Posted April 8, 2008 Any idea on the cost of one of those? Quote
NitroTate Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 You mean to buy one yourself? I think they are around at least $600. I had a friend (before I got into PC) do a frame for me with one and it really did kick ass on the frame in the open air. So I went out and bought a littler one that ran off of 120 v thinking it would work almost as well and it wasn't even worth the $200. I ended up selling it. Quote
NitroTate Posted April 8, 2008 Report Posted April 8, 2008 Here's a link to eastwoods lamps, that little one might work, I'm not sure... http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=...amp;iSubCat=463 Quote
