Curing paint with UV´s ?

[Samy]

I have a UV lamp that i use to make pcb´s, can i use this to cure paint ?
I´ve read somewhere around here that curing paint with UV was an alternative to a toaster, is it efficient ? Where can i get more info about this, like exposure time etc.. ?

Thanks.

I use natural UV (i.e. el sol) to cure my pedals. Of course, here in FL that's an easy task. 
I would recommend UV over ovens, it's more efficient. What I tell everyone who bakes their pedals (and noone cares  ), is to make sure the finish is supposed to be baked, or can withstand heat, otherwise you're accomplishing the exact opposite of what you're trying to achieve.

You want an infra-red bulb to cure paint, not UV.   Though the heat generated by a flood bulb, UV or not, would make paint dry faster.
