If your talking about curing glue I dont think kitchen ovens get low enough.

All the time, together with the Sunday roast   ;)  Seriously not a good idea I would think, unless you have an oven for that purpose only. Bue--.

Mine runs as low as 170.  Never thought of using it.  You have probably set me on the road to the wife's dark side!

I do it all the time. It works great with Smooth On. Our oven is pretty accurate down to 125F, so I cook a clamped-up riser at about 175F for 5 hours. I've never noticed any bad smell and, as long as the riser is well wrapped in Saran Wrap or its equivalent, no problem about epoxy dripping. I usually clamp up and bake some laminates for bow tips at the same time -- kind of like an appetizer for the main course.

My wife is hounding me, however, about epoxy on her oven door handle. I probably ought to change gloves before I open the oven. Anyone know a good epoxy solvent that won't hurt stainless?

Come on now pearl... you never made jerky in the oven. Alls ya got to do is open the door a bit. My wife cant find the oven so its all mine. Probably better that way anyway..

I dont know those fancy oven regulation tips! Dad has a full blown butcher shop/smoke house man. I have had it made since I was born when it comes to processing and smoking. Dad is a wizard with all Gods creatures from slaughtering to smokin'!

I was unaware of any other side of mine lol. Cooking epoxy in her oven would show me dark the likes of which I cannot imagine. (Shuddering)
