Nathan,
I'd make sure that your lab oven is rated for paint/powder. With paint you usually have to have something that can evacuate a certain percentage of volatiles per hour. Not sure about powder 'gives off' during the bake, since you're essentially melting powder, but I'd still chekc that you're okay. |

The oven is an old Blue M Gravity oven which has 3 ~ 1inch holes on top, similar to this. I can't find any specifics on what would be adequate though. Think it'll work?

The 2 holes are vent holes and the 3rd hole is to put a thermometer in. The vent holes can take a slide that control’s the airflow. There was a fare amount of VOCs going off during the hardening of the resin and I even put in 5 gallons in my big ovens to warm up the resin when it was to cold in the room. The motors are totally enclosed but not explosion proof. I never had one blow up. Bob Burton |
