Default Re: Oven or reflector with infrared

I did a bit of experimenting last night. I took aluminum foil and lined a box with it and put the parts in it. I noticed no significant difference in temp with the box. I'll probably just use the lamp for curing painted items.

Now I have to fuss with buying/building an oven. I'm looking at taking an oven and removing the top since the range isn't needed, and adding a box on top to extend the unit. Sort a "pregnant upwards" direction rather than "pregnant outwards. This seems like something that would be relatively simple perhaps with a few substitutions like a PID for more precise control.

Geez, I've been hanging out here too long... the term "PID" just came out sort of naturally like I really knew what I was talking about. Seriously... my head hurts from all this meditation on ovens and the like. I want to get back to restoring my Jag.
