Heat Lamps?
Posted: Tue Dec 17, 2013 8:23 am
This may seem like a simple question, but I'm going to ask it anyway...
When glassing in cold weather (highs in the 30s and/or 40s where I am in MD), what wattage heat lamps are you guys using to warm your work in order to ensure resin cures properly? I'm seeing lamps ranging from 75W all the way up to 300W. To me it seems like 75W wouldn't be enough when high temps are in the range mentioned above.
This is the style I'm interested in:
I'm also seeing these listed at both "clamp lamps" and "heat lamps". My gut feeling is there is really no difference, but some say they accept incandescent bulbs and other take heat lamp bulbs. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
