Helping fiberglass dry

So i need my truck in 3 hours, but my fiberglass work is really taking forever to dry because of the damp winter weather im having.  Im in an heated garage, but that dodn't matter.  What im asking, is can i use a heat gun to help it along? or is that detrimental?2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

Usually when I have this issue, I mix up a really hot batch and apply well being sure to mix it with the resin that is already on the box. Space heater would probably work better then a heat gun, even heat.Certified Security Specialist

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

i usually use those outdoor 500 watt halogen lights works great

how do yoiu guys deal with the smell, i think they should make an industrial febreez or something

There was a link I read somewhere I cant remember where, anyway.  The guy builds a little greenhouse type thing.  He takes his piece he is working on and puts it between two chairs or stools anything that is taller than his piece.  Then he takes a thick sheet of plastic and drapes it over the chairs and the piece.  Places one of those electric space heaters with the fan on them to circulate the heat and also a temperature gauge so it cuts off when it reaches a certain degree. He then weighs the plastic down with bricks or w/e to keep the heat in and he said it works awesome. I thought it was a really good idea myself cause you dont run into the issue of the glass not being as strong because its just like when you're working on a piece during a hot day.

vanilla air freshner gets rid of that fiberglass smell. besides real installers don't smell it any more.LOLif at first you don't succeed, kick it, burn it and throw it away.

you can also use a space heater and a big cardboard box........or if it is in the trunk you can just set the space heater in the trunk........just make sure it doenst get too hot or you could have a fire. as for the smell i think there are addidives you can buy that will help. look at some of the fiberglass places online or locally. they might know of something.

Hey the cardboard box would work great.  The key is DO NOT let the heater touch anything or the fire department coming to pay you a visit.  You could go to lowes,home depot, circuit city, any where that sold refrigerators or washers and dryers and get a massive box. That would work really well for big projects.Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

the heater that i use at the shop is a little utility heater from home depot...i ordered it online. it is about 25 dollars delivered. it had a hi and low setting and a temp control knob. it also has tip-over protection.
