Curtis Seebeck recommends drying your knife scales at 200ºF for 24 hours before stabilizing them so all the moisture is completely out of them. I was having a hard time getting my oven or toaster to come on at that temperature, so I made this hot box that works just like an easy bake oven. It's got a 100W bulb in it, and without any insulation or thermostat, it comes to exactly 200ºF when it's in my garage. It's as if it were meant to be! I may put some insulation for when it gets colder in there, and maybe add a thermostat at some point. Does anybody know where I can get a thermostat I can set to around 200ºF?
I was thinking about cutting a hole in the door and putting some plexiglass over the hole so I can see inside and check the temperature without having to open it up, but I don't have a jig saw.
