A friend used my PC setup for a ceramic coat on a set of V8 headers. I'd seen
a similar oven setup on another (unfortunately defunct) web site that was
nicknamed the "pregnant oven". Actually, it looks like Google will turn up a
few hundred hits for "pregnant oven" ;)
Pete bought 3 sheets of 2x4' unfaced mineral wool from McMaster Carr. I
figured panel sizes and optimal cutting from the material. We were able to
just stack them on the open door as a 4 sided enclosure. I used an I.R.
thermometer ($40 @ H.F.) We got moderately good temperature distribution,
about 500dF in the oven section and 400dF under the hood. I think the original
oven design actually had an additional heating element installed on the door.
