Hi all, I you are all keeping well. I have what I hope will be the final wiring diagram for my curing oven below (link included if image does not appear) and I just wanted to have it sanity checked by your good selves. Please point out any glaring errors etc as I don't want to turn into the...

So I thought I was making progress with getting my head around the setup that i needed before actually committing to buying all the parts. Then I googled imaged (wiring diagram of a pid controlled oven element) and i think i have made matters worse in terms of how to wire this oven. Discounting...

Hi Andy, Firstly thanks for posting up those pics, visual aids are always a plus. Secondly can I adopt you please  :Salute Wow now that is one serious home made curing oven. It has also given me a idea of how I might integrate a fan into my build. What's in the box is my next question? I...

Andy, you mentioned earlier that you have built your own curing oven and that you use a fan. would you mind sharing some more info on this please? Hi Sidewinder, The issue then is not so much about safety angle with the PID I have selected, more just the hit and miss nature of the reliability...

Hi Sidewinder, Thank you for the point by point reply, it is much appreciated. Responding in reverse to yours and Roy's comments, I would love to have been able to just pick up a 2nd hand oven on fleabay, but the internal dimensions of the majority of house hold ovens are not really large...

 Oh okay I follow what you are saying.

Firstly thanks gents for coming back to me on my questions so quickly. While sitting here at my desk at work I have had a thought. Would it be better to use a oven/Grill heating element instead of the multiple cartridge heater elements?(although i assume they are essentially the same thing)

Hi Andy, Not sure if I follow you?  Heating elements totaling 1.5kw in power may not get the oven to temp properly, but using 2 elements totaling 1kw would work? Is is a case of trying to to get 3 elements up to full power may not be possible but only sharing the power between two elements is...

Hi Andy, The oven will be for curing Metal and Plastic airsoft parts painted in a product called Cerakote. Temps that it needs to reach are between 150 - 250 Celsius and as accurately as possible. It will solely be used  for personal usage. I have thought about a fan system to circulate the...

Hi All, I need help/advice/guidance (drawings and diagrams welcomed too) Backstory: I'm in the fabrication stage of building a small curing oven made out of a old metal cabinet. I'm planning to line the cabinet with some thermo-tec heat insulation matting. The part that I need assistance with...

Thanks for the advice. I will post my question and take it from there.

Haha, I'm not alone in quest to reach the golden 10 posts so that I can ask my questions with visual aids. I think this will be post no:6 although it should be 7 but the pesky software tricked me. I thought I was being smart by having a conv with myself in the Introduce yourself section but it...

Not judging or anything but this whole 10 posts before you can add hyperlinks or even smileys to a post is very stringent for what I would consider a specialized forum. All I wanted to do was ask some questions with regards to my diy curing oven project and I was simply adding links so that...
