I have a 1000l stainless steel vessel on legs, ex brewery fermentation tank. I want to cut a door in it, and use it as a oven for curing paint and / or a spray booth. It means I can spray stuff then get on with other things in the workshop without worrying about dust.
The spraying will be mainly rattle can so I'm not worried about that. I'll put a small vent in, possibly, but will play that one by ear. May not even need it.
The big problem is I want to heat it. I use a paint on a few of my products that has to be baked at 200C for 20 minutes to cure. Assuming I can get a domestic oven would it be a simple job of putting the guts into the stainless tank? I know it'll get hot but that isnt an issue where it'll sit. Had planned to make a powder coating setup in there but I think this paint is better for what I do so just need to find a way to cure it.
Anyone done anything like this before?
