In Response To: Strip: heating a garage (eric Platou)

: The winter chill in Chicago has brought my building to a close, too
: soon I might add. I was delayed in my building and was not able
: to get the inside of the top of my kayak galssed. I would like
: to heat an area of the garage enough to do this one last
: project. I am tempted to use one of those patio propane towers
: that often is used outside on a patio or deck. You know the ones
: that are about 5 feet tall with a propane tank in the base and a
: covered radiant heat area about 4 feet up. My concern is the
: carbon monoxide this may give off as well as how it might react
: with the epoxy fumes. Save me from emminent disaster if that is
: was comes with this combination. Please suggest an alternative
: if there is one. Thank you.

BTW: epoxy has a very low vapor pressure and to get up to the explosive limit concentration you would need to be very, very hot in the shop. The MSDS I found listed the explosive limit concentration as "not determined"

On the other hand, if you have several open bowls of alcohol or acetone sitting around your shop then you could have a big problem.
