Re: infrared heating lamps

yes and no. it will heat the part but the drawback to ir heat is it need to be constantly monitored, and how do you adjust the temp in the box. in most uses of ir lamps the surface temp is controled by moving the lamp closer or farther away. not to say it wont work just some things to consider. best of luck bro. also welcome to the forum.
