I sent this earlier but I forgot to edit those damn trailers again
Ok, so the consensus seems to be that it doesn't put out much heat. I kinda'
figured that because of it's 10000 BTU rating but the Salamander type
doesn't look to be in the budget currently. I guess my question should be,
which would work better? One of these or a small electric space heater ? Or
maybe a kerosene heater? Naturally all relevant safety precautions would be
taken and my intent is to make sections of the car warm enough to prime only
not do a finish coat on the whole thing. The car inquestion is a 67 Datsun
roadster that is stripped, no hood, fenders, trunklid or doors.
thanks

It might be problematic, too.
