Has anyone used a radiant heater for painting in the cold weather?
My current options are a wood stove or a salamander heater. Those both have open flames, so I think that might be a bad thing. Any suggestions aside from waiting? I need to repair and paint a car prior to Hershey and it won't be a stable temp until may in my area.... Rich |

Missed your call last night. I was setting up at the World of Wheels car show. Use the booth. Even if you have to pay for it. Yes you can get solvents of cool weather but unless your a seasoned painter you will not know how to adjust your painting technic for the temp. I painted dozens of cars in a garage when I was a young guy with a oil furnace sitting in the corner running full blast. Dumb? Lucky? you decide..
