For all the naysayers, I tried it and it works. In my experience, the oven thermometer was not accurate because the entire thing needs to be inside the oven. I used a meat thermometer and poked it through the side. My parts are cured so thank you!
I know this is old and a lot of the comments are sarcasm about how dangerous it is but it does work. I used a method like this to bake open my headlights. However, instead of putting the hole for the heat gun in the top, I put it on the side and made it big enough to where the heat gun nozzle doesn't make contact with the box. The heat gun pointed up diagonally, away from the headlights. I also didn't line it with foil but it still worked without a problem and I didn't leave it unattended.
Doing wheel Drums? Just prop a heat gun. 1. lay drums on top of eachother, separated by some type of thin spacer (i use 2 wood shims). you simply want the hollow space between drums. 2. point the heat gun through the middle axle hole on top. might need to prop the handle with something. No need to cover any holes or gaps. No need to cover it. Drums easily reach 200F. Temp adjustable gun could help, as well.
Is the glue that you applied is used also for sealing the box or it just to hold the aluminum?if it just to hold the foil,can i use thumbtacks instead?Thanks.
I'm not the person who posted the video, but I believe I can verify that the glue is for holding the foil in place and generally keep it from sagging into the "oven" space. A few dabs here and there would suffice. You could use thumbtacks, but remember that if you do, the sharp points will be sticking OUT and might poke through the outside if the cardboard is thin. The box just needs to hold hot air inside well enough to do the job, so a really good seal is not super critical.
It's a great idea. How long should I keep the pieces of fairings inside and at what heat, to have a nice banking and hardening of the coats, especially the protective transparent?
I can see no flaws here, nothing could possibly go wrong. I'd suggest emptying out a pillow into plastic bags, spread about an inch thick and tape them to the box for insulation.
The nozzle of the heat gun is about 1000 degrees...friction fitting it into flammable cardboard is an absolutely BRILLIANT idea!! Unbelievable! Oh, wait, my bad, that layer of aluminum foil should make it ok...
tmru2b oh yes! Because the 1000 degree tip lit that box on fire right in front of us just now. Good job in trying to sound like you know something but actually making yourself look stupid.
Yeah, ok, I'M the stupid one...lol! Cuz the nozzle ISN'T 1000 degrees, and it's not wedged into a CARDBOARD box! And because it didn't catch fire for you it MOST DEFINITELY means it won't! I don't know what I was thinking, you're right, my bad, it's a brilliant idea...!
120 C is 248 F. VHT paint wants one to cure at 650 F . I don't think this box is a solution to that. Auto ignition temp of cardboard is 800 F. That means when it ignites itself. Have no idea what temp the glue goes off.
@@tmru2b used Mapp torch pointed at aluminum foil protecting wires and heating exhaust nuts. Nuts are off, reaching 1750F and glowing red. Wires are fine behind tin foil. Yep, it works

i’m about to try this same thing, any suggestions
I learned how to do this in boy scouts. Had a couple coals in the bottom. Baked a whole cake in 15 mins.
Was it a weed cake?
Nicee
We actually cooked hotdogs building one of these in Highschool, the sun was our heat source
I will try to use the principle whit a plywood box ,thanks so much you gave me great ideas. It could be any length any shape to accommodate the part
Wtf this is the best channel ever! Keep uploading
+Apples yo thanks man. Will do.
Thanks for sharing this, what a great idea, I used it today
Thanks .you just saved me a small fortune. Brilliant.
This is a amazing idea. The box heated up to 200degrees in like 3 minutes

Easy Bake would be proud

Very clever, and creative. Thanks 👍

Holy shit I think the was the first video of yours I ever saw
Bless you sir as you are a gift from baby jesus him self
That's cool, because it's hot!
SMART!!! THANK YOU....
Isn't there a risk to damage the heat-gun,especially when the heat-gun is directed-down inside the box?
i thick if you had a window shileld you could make one that would last longer thanks for the ideal i wont get in trouble for useing my mom' stove
How long did it take for it to reach highest stagnant temperature
never mind I paused the video to type my question seconds before you mentioned the 2min
Aren't you worried about cardboard catching fire? For instance at the point where cardboard connects with heatgun?
If you wrap it well it should be fine. I do keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case, but I definitely do not recommend leaving it unattended.
I can see no flaws here, nothing could possibly go wrong. I'd suggest emptying out a pillow into plastic bags, spread about an inch thick and tape them to the box for insulation.
Maybe soak the pillow in gasoline beforehand?
driving 4 answers lmao
Can i bake a lasagna in this?
could I use a propane grill
Nice!
Does this work if the temperature on the back of the can says 600° F
Cause the vht one I have does
I'm gonna try so this better not be a prank lol
Maybe I’ll make this and also heat up firebricks with my firepit and put them in
Ty! some Metal housing with isolation Would raise it to 200 C np, need to try :D
did it worked^ interested!
Is your house still standing or have U burnt it to the ground yet?
Burned down. I'm homeless now.
driving 4 answers Love the sarcasm! Great Video Sir
driving 4 answers. Haha you have the best answers for these assholes
Won't reach 600F for my needs
What’s the divider for 8:14 ?
Its a heat deflector so the heat from the nozzle doesn't directly hit the part.
How long does it retain heat?
Theredsunrising For about 15-20 min
until it goes cold or starts to cool down?
Starts to cool down
can you please send me the name of the temperature indicator /measure becease I intends to buy it
Brinis Ghassen Doesn't have a name. It's just a generic temperature gauge I bought at a hardware store. You can find similar stuff anywhere.
driving 4 answers ,thank you for your prompt reply . I appreciate this .
Warnock add ruined it
