Vic, I do not have the answers to any of that yet, but I'm sure Eastwood
would not be selling them if it could not be completed properly. The
shops I have been to have a spray room then a heat room. They recycle
from the spray room all that falls on the floor, which is usually
hanging-up to be sprayed, the charge is magnetic so handling is not so
important once the item is charged. Some fellows in our club made their
own system and baked it in a rented stor-all garage, worked fine and look
good.
