I'm in the same boat. The regular oven worked fine, the toaster oven very poorly (? too uneven heat), the idea of a heated box in the basement leaves me nervous. Been looking for a beat up lab oven close by (shipping them is costly). It never ends.

Looks like we think alike, I've been looking for a cheap used lab oven myself, but no luck so far....

Larry, as for the AutoAir, I like the color selction but it isn't as forgiving as the Createx. You need to cut it with one of their Flash Reducers, make sure you get the *Fast* version, not the *Medium* one. Watch your pressures and needle settings, put it down light and cleanliness is an issue as it tends to form waterspot spots. Also, it takes a lot of coats to do it right, you can't cover in just one spray.

I've got a Bravetti, tabletop convection oven that I think would be perfect for this. I use mine for food, but would be worth looking for at yard sales etc or any other 2 rack toaster oven. I know people who have a 2 rack toaster oven and they hate it because it never heats up and basically doesn't toast. Sounds perfect for lure curing.... Mine heats up really slowly and takes forever to heat up, but maintains nice heat way better than a toaster oven. plus the convection feature would be nice. It makes perfect cookies. It is about 18" wide and 16 or so tall, fits 2 9x13 brownie pans it it. Nice portable size.
