Should have no problem raising the timber to 20. 30 or even 40 degrees C if you wanted to. Mind you glue up can get a bit sweaty if you leave them on.
    Also the whole thing only pulls 9.2 amps so you can plug it anywhere.

    The last 4 days have seen my heating system fail to cope........wouldn't raise the general temperature above about 13ºC.
    So, I bit the bullet, and followed Different's plan. I bought a couple of heat lamps, and mounted them above the bench. Happiness is a warm glueing-up area.
    Thanks Ross.

    I've been waiting two days to glue two slats into stair railing, ambient temp' hasn't risen above 10º yet.

    The idea of those yellow Bunnies lamps is a great idea when I need to do lots of gluing soon, I'll pull 'em from under the house. )except the stair rails can't be dismantled and dragged into the shed, the deck weighs to much to pull it in. )
    I make things, I just take a long time.
