Try two or three light bulbs on a rheostat, Lu. You'll melt less extension cords that way.

Gee, I didn't know they made cabinets for flammables. I just store them under my wife's home office.

Thumbs up

You guys are all unreal. Some real talent on this board. I wish I had 1/1000 of the woodturning/problem solving/skill that you guys have.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

George gets up to 200degrees in about 5 minutes with the heat gun.I am working on getting a thermostat and another heat source though.I have not burned or even come close to heating up any extension cords and this was a quick setup to test out.My wheels are still spinning.

I too am using, since early last year, 2 heated plastic spinner boxes where I get it up over 100 with 2 small light bulbs. The Sys. 3 Clear Coat seems to like it that way a lot. I am only doing 6 plugs per box or 12 total every time I do it.
