Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
I do it often on spray painted parts spayed from a spray can. I'll put them in at 200 degrees 30 minutes minimum.
Sent the little woman off to a shoe sale and she'll never know! The nice thing about drying paint in your oven is you wont get small Gnats and other flying bugs in your fresh uncured paint like you might drying outside.

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
Buy a small toaster oven and use it in your shop. Wife happy.

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
Used stoves and exhaust fans are very cheap! Buy one for the garage or shed ( I did ) for this type of work. Wayne
P.s. Who knows when you might move out there once she finds all the Model A receipts! |

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
Should be a lot of give away electric stoves around and heating elements are cheap. Put a piece of sheet steel or plywood on top and you have more bench space with storage in oven between paint baking events.

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
It works great...
Also, the dishwasher is a fantastic parts washer, and the sink in our skullery is 20" X 32". I'm not joking... my Wife just rolls her eyes now :-D

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
As said, yes low temp for several hours = good job, BUT don't do what I did. forgot it overnight, wife wakes me up, "what is that smell, I think the house is on fire", I spring out of bed, find my gloves I had hidden in the kitchen pantry, and was caught red handed holding an exhaust manifold. No explanation will be good enough. Years later, she came into the garage and wondered what I did with that nice oven. Nuff said...

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
I have used my gas grille to cure VHT high temp paint. It worked great and didn't stink up the house.

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
Drying in my gas oven didn't stinking up the house. Don't know about electric, could be the flames burn the fumes before they escape the oven. Oh, still run the exhaust vent.

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
When we remodeled the kitchen, I put the old electric stove/oven out in my shop. I took the top off and just use the oven for powder coating and other heating jobs, warms the shop up in the winter too! It's large enough that I can get a 17" wheel in it! Another thing to consider, besides the smell, what toxic gases are being emitted when it's heating those painted parts? There's a reason that the powder coating suppliers warn not to use an oven that you cook food in!

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
Phoenix in the summer, parts out in the sun. Does not make the wife mad and no toxic fumes in the oven. Currently 105 degrees in Phoenix in the shade.

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
For small stuff, I just balance parts on a horizontal portion of the exhaust pipe from our water heater...as noted above, bright sunshine is sufficient to get some hardening. I'm about to build a simple heater for the workbench for the small stuff, essentially a pie pan above a lamp with a 100 watt bulb.
I don't dare go near the oven...wife is a lawyer. |

Re: Heating Painted parts in Oven
My wife stores her teaching & quilting materials in the garage.
I store my freshly painted parts in the kitchen oven. She is still ahead on that trade!
