How To Build a Hot Box Oven For Heat Curing Materials

Step 2: Creating the Ventilation

Use a jig saw to cut a port in the front panel to accomodate the blower end of the heater. Add multiple vent holes into the sides of the box. These will be sealed with duct tape and can be later opened/closed to vary and control the temperature. Next, drill a 1/4” hole for the thermometer, which is needed to monitor temperature. Thermometers can be purchased through a scientific equipment supply house.
