Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)
Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Hey all, I've not thought about this thread much in the past few months since I've finished the oven. I've done a few projects with the KG gunkote and am thrilled that I took the time and effort to collect and build all the tools I need to apply...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) One other thing I'll add for those who might concider using a file cabinet to build one of these- try to get an old one- they are much more heavy duty- My biggest regret with this oven is that I did not put the controls on top and the oven below-...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) I was a little bugged that I did not get a good picture of the oven at temp- So when I fired up the oven again to show my neighbor I took some more pictures and one of them came out (the digital display flashes and when you take a picture not all of...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Got your PM and sent one back- I decided to post my response here on the thread as it may be useful to someone else later. Hope that does not equate to airing our dirty laundry in public or anything- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I used foil-lined rigid...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Very Nice Jonaddis! One thing I'll add on my oven- If I had known the thing would do such a good job of keeping heat inside the oven- I definately would have used the bottom 3 drawers for the oven and the top drawer for the controller components- It...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Success! This oven fired right up and performs better than I'd ever thought it would. The wiring looks alot more complicated than it really was- obviously it was pretty time consuming putting everything together. The only real problem I had was with...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Hired Gun- I think it's possible you may have voided your warranty I've already posted way too many pics of my build but I might as well stick with the program- We're almost to the end. I cut my vent in the back of my bottom drawer- The electrical...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) VERY NICE Hired Gun! Your oven is a monument to this thread as it seems to hone and combine a lot of ideas. I really dig what you did with the toaster oven- I expect a run on those Black and Decker ovens as it seems to fit your locker oven perfectly...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Jonaddis- I sure hope that you don't think that we are dumping on your oven build- It's really pretty ingenius. But I have to say that I think TxAg makes some good points. I think if you'd spring for one more internal layer of foil-lined duct board...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Jonaddis- first question, did you already have the insulation in the oven when it would only hit 170? I know that it would be awefully hard ot hit 300-400 without some thorough insulation. Also- my only point of advice is to make sure and have your...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Jonaddis, I think what TxAg said still may be valid for your plan since it is sucking (HOT) air from inside the oven. But it's possible the heat-gun-guts can handle 300-350 inside there. Your blower motor is what I'm worried about and my guess is it's...- msahlm

Gunsmithing Need advice from KG Gunkoters… Please.
Re: Need advice from KG Gunkoters… Please. Great info, thanks! One more question relative to the KG air cured. If I applied as you described, would there be any harm in placing the items (say even a rifle scope) in my curing oven with the temperature set at 100-110F. My PID temperature...- msahlm

Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Seems like I may have found a GCE on my own: I had switches grounded to green as per instructions- but I think that's related to a 12V system- seems like they will have to wire back to the neutral in a 120V system and not just to ground (the way a 12v...- msahlm
