How To Build a Hot Box Oven For Heat Curing Materials

Step 3: Finishing the hot box oven

Place a mold in the center of a baseboard to insulate the mold from the concrete floor. Note: DO NOT place the mold or casting directly on a wood floor, table etc. Only use the Hot Box on a concrete floor or slab.

Fit the heater into the box port. This heater produced an ambient temperature of 203°F (95°C) in 5 min. Monitor the temperature while the heater is operating. The temperature can be controlled by adding or removing duct tape.
