Blending problem

Hey Barry, the epoxy was heated for probably 45 minutes or longer and it was about 10 hours total before I blocked it out. The blend turned out great CrashTech. I shot 2 coats last night of SPI Speed Clear, looks great, need to work the orange peel down a bit. I'll put up some photos tonight once I am done.
Nytrainer yes, that is unit I purchased from National Tool Warehouse and I received it in 2 days. I live in Canton GA.

I have the old style 7 bulb heat lamp and was thinking of getting an infrared. Is this the same one you have? Thanks.

That's the lamp pretty much everyone who does paint & body should have as a minimum. It's literally the first thing I bought when I got my shop along with the masking paper tree.

Edit:
Well the image didn't pull through to this quote, the Infratech part number is SRU-1615:

I have a medium wave 1500 from H, and S auto shot 26 years old or so.
Same thing as Infratech you show, and I have a 9000 short wave I've had for 20 or so years.
The only thing I have done is replace bulbs, and I dont think h and s make them anymore; not sure.
 
Okay, got it done. Turned out great! I used SPI Speed Clear as it was the only clear coat available a year ago due to supply chain issues. I had pretty bad peel and had to sand it out (no fault of the product). That took me several times sanding, cutting & polishing (3M Perfectic 1,2 & 3) to get it flat... Shining like a mirror now and you cannot tell where its blended. I learned a ton of good stuff from you guys and by making mistakes along the way. Here are some out of order pics. The outdoor pic is the final product. Can't wait for the next project. Thanks for everyone's help! This forum ROCKS!
PS; I used 1500, 3000 & 5000 Trizact on 6" da. I remember a post complaining about the 1500. I felt the 1500 did not last long. Is that what the complaint has been?

I've got a brand new short wave H&S that I can't get bulbs for. Very frustrating.

Did you call H&S direct?
It should be a standard bulb, but they could advise. Where to get and? We just need the length, but I will dig into this Monday.
I had a case and used the last one about six months ago.

I called them about a year ago. Bulbs are NLA. Others won't interchange AFAIK.

Thanks but not it. Model I'm speaking of is old. Had it for 15 years, never used it. A couple of years ago decided to use it and build a stand for it (I had the head only) and the bulb was broken. It is long since out of production. Model is H&S Unishot M1500. Thought it was a short wave, may be a medium wave, I can't remember. I called H&S and they said bulbs NLA and there are no interchangeable ones for that model.
On the plus side the folks at H&S were pleasant and helpful.
 
i had an h&s 1500 medium wave i needed a new element for. h&s no longer makes it and after doing some digging online i had thought h&s stopped making curing lamps all together and infraech took over their line. it was the exact same unit just a different logo. i was able to go on infratech's website and order the bulb from them.

The M-1500 model? If so could you give me a part number of the IR bulb? Thank you Sir.:)
