Hi. I am new here. I have had one of the HF powder guns for almost a couple years now and finally got around to using it a couple days ago on the new control panel I made for my CNC mill. The panel was machined out of .080 aluminum sheet. Worked pretty well. Ended up using a propane powered infrared heater for curing.
My Next project is an old rod iron bedframe. For this I have acquired six 1kw 240 IR heaters. They came out of some sort of circuit board production equipment where the boards passed under about 8 of these on a conveyor. They all have parabolic reflectors that work pretty well. To do this project I am going to use these heaters end to end staggered so they are continuous probably bolted to some of the bosch aluminum extrusions. There will be three to a side facing each other hanging from a track from the rafters. Kind of like a giant tuning fork. I have an old dc speed control from a gullco track burner that will control the movement along the track and hopefully curing as it goes.
Has anyone tried something like this?
Here is a pic of the control panel and one of the six heaters I got.
