Getting prepared for the winter blues
I didn't get as much done as I hoped this summer partly because we had so much rain and I procrastinated so much last winter, but now that I have the rotisserie built and the panel on it, I'm wanting to prep the underside for epoxy and bed liner. My question is how do you do this in a well ventilated area that you also have to heat. I have a natural gas heater in a 24x24 shop. I was thinking if I brought the heat up to the proper tempature and turned off the heat and sprayed and left long enough for the paint to dry, air out the shop and then reheated it to continue. What have you fellows and gals done to continue the progress over the winter months.

yep,
getter good n' hot spray it up n' ventilate & reheat.
i've done it many's a time, as i have a gas fireplace in my shop for heat.....buuut.........finding the gas propane fireplace too $$$ to run of late, so i started to use my 220v construction heater, & just leave it on the whole time. matterofact it's running right now in the garage as we speak, drying the polyester type primer that i sprayed this aft on the austin mini i'm refinishing for a fella. i have gotten the garage 20X 30 (well insulated) up to 120 deg in the dead of winter with it.
only put the hydro bill up $20 a month thru the winter months, keep the shop 50 when i'm not there and 68-72 for working.
