cold weather resin cureing

[Itsavanman]

so I am in the market for a curing lamp so I can complete the camper project on my jeep this winter. I found this lamp through one of my suppliers at my work for a decent cost.

anyone use one of these things in cold weather? its application range is 3 x 4' for paint curing at high temp but i figure it should raise the temp of my 6 x 4' top to above 50 degrees when the ambient temp in the shop will be about 20-30 degrees..

its a 1500w unit, and i have found a few calculators that will calculate how long it will take that unit to raise the air temp completely in the shop, but none to calculate the temp rise of just a work piece. anyone have any input on how to calculate if this heat lamp will work for what i want it to do?

If you are using epoxy, you will be much better off just using a lower temp epoxy system.

As for paint, what paint are you using?
Ive had excellent results with oil based paints curing in low temps by using a fast flashing thinner like Naptha.

I pulled the trigger on the curing lamp, I'll be using evercoat nonwaxed poly, the footprint of this thing is 2x3 so going to be glassing in 2x3 sections...
