Bill:
Received my unit today. Sand blasted a couple of pieces and put them in
the oven and they turned out really nice. This was the first time. How
many lamps do you have total and what length area, can you do at a time.
I know you said you done a 2 ft. section at a time, but with how many
lamps? Am thinking about building a cabinet large enough to put bumpers
in and fenders. Do you think this is necessary, or just spray and use
the heat lamps?
