Default Re: building a curing oven ?

Hey Jack, I didn't put a window in mine, but I wish I had. I'm tired of opening the door to measure the part temp. I want to add one, so I'm interested in the type of glass to use also. I think if you put one in you'll be glad you did.

I have a 4w x 3h x 2d oven with no fan, the elements are in the bottom and have shields to prevent direct IR heating of the parts. I have two oven thermometers near the top and bottom and they are always within about 5 degrees of each other, so I think one fan is probably more than enough.
