Hi Folks!
I am rearanging my workshop into a paintshop right now. I live in the netherlands and temperatures are around 0*C / 32*F at least until end of February. I want to prime my Fuselage with a 2 component primer and use a 2 component top coat on the visible cockpit surfaces.
According to the factory informations the best temperatur to bring the stuff on and let it cure is above 15*C/59*F.
I will use a gas-blowpipe-heater to heat up my workshop (two car garage).
Now here is what i am concerned about.
As the heater has an open flame, how likely is it that you produce a flameable air-primer/air-paint mixture while spraying and the whole shop will blow up?
Or am i way too "Hollywood" on this one?
I was thinking about heating up the shop, turn off the heater, spray for a little while, wait a little while, turn the heater on again, wait a little while...............and so on and on......
Any recommendations or experiences on that one?
The heater itself will not be in the paint-booth. I will hang plastic shets/foils from the ceilling, seperating the Fuselage physically from the rest of the workshop and the heater.
How did you guys in the northern countries did yours?
Thanks for your inputs!
