I know allot of you guys like to speed up curing time on paint with a toaster oven, its not something you come across allot here (in the UK) so no chance of easily finding one in a 2nd hand shop.  Just had a look on ebay wondering if this would fit the bill.......http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-Beaumark-Compact-Mini-Toaster-Oven_W0QQitemZ280166034210QQihZ018QQcategoryZ122930QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Its the cheapest one there ;)

right I'll get one of them ordered then  :)

a heat gun I want one of them, although not for drying paint lol

I was thinking rather an buying spray cans of paint it might be a good investment to but one of the little hobby spray set ups with the little spray guns and small compressor, although not too sure yet.  Main thing is I dont know what paint to use in it and where to get it any ideas on that?

Hello mate, step into my office..... I was in exactly the same position as you this time last year, for my birthday my better half bought me a "table oven" from Argos (romantic eh?) about £30 and big enough for say 4 boxes in one go.  Just never use it for food - (really).  Oh yeah if you use acrylic paint set the temp REALLY low, enamels fine though.

The small hinari would do you fine

I'm playing around with these in an airbrush. Finding the best primer to use on aluminum, something that really sticks and is tough is proving to be the difficult part of the job.

Also using Createx brand airbrush paints. (They make the Autoaircolors.)

Haven't tried these but they look interesting.

I'm thinking about getting the Ronco rotisserie and seeing just how well it stands up against your primitive little toaster ovens when it comes to paint baking!  :icon_twisted:
