HI 

Thought I would I introduce myself and the work I havestarted doing, I started skinning / laminating parts ,mainly car interiors backin 2012 in the attic of my parents’ house, wasn’t a ideal place although it wasproperly insulated, dust was still an issue.

Now I have a garage and decided to attempt it again, I foundtemperature to be the biggest challenge, even in the summer months the garageis still around 15 degrees and doesn’t really go much higher. So curing theresin and the base coat is painful.

Decided to make a curing oven ( nothing fancy ) just a woodenbox really with insulation and a small oil radiator. Coupled with a wire-less food temperatureprobe, it comes with two probes which I have positionedeither side of the oven at the top. it has enough range for me to leave and go back to the house. 

 




I haven't insulated the oven as best as I could to be honest but it still holds with 2 or 4 degrees difference either side. 
next was a good enough work space but I still wanted to use the garage if needed to park the car, so a foldable bench.

 
Thanks reading
