I would also integrate some sort of independent heatingsensor to cut off ...just in case. For my own -slowly progressing- project I had far too low temps in my homeshop this winter/spring, so I made a curingbox too. I made a box from 20mm(2x10) foamboard.The heat from old 200w hairdryer. Tempcontrol old 30-90 degrees washingmaschine thermostate. Safety: 90 degrees cutoff from washingmaschine. It works real fine.The temperature cycles about 5 deg in the 50 region with heating running one minute every five minutes. I had to cover the sensortube under a piece of metal to dampen the on/off freq. To monitor the temp I use a digital -50 - 300C termometer , but a cheap stowe one could do. The box is also very usefull for heating epoxy and glass/carbon to working temperatures in a cold/damp shop. Jens DEN Nice device!
