Epoxy problem question

No complaints allowed guys. I moved from upstate NY near Rochester and lake effect snow 30+ years ago. Lived in Garland, Texas for a couple of years, Florida for about 4 years and then moved to Arizona in 1998.

So glad I am a "former" New Yorker and have no desire to return.
I'm from Penfield, NY just east of Rochester and moved to Texas when I was 8. Yes I hate the heat, hate sweating all over bare metal before the sun comes up but at least I can work in it and still feel my fingertips. Drink plenty of water and keep a fan nearby, all good!
 
I moved here when I was 5 from Oregon. I can remember my brother complaining he couldn't breathe (it was August). Our first night in our new house, with no curtains, we had a severe thunderstorm. None of us kids had ever seen anything like that, and were really questioning my Dad's decision to move us down here:)
Amazing, the same thing happened to me when a young kid visiting my Aunt and Uncle in San Antonio, Texas. I was so amazed by the lighting storm I couldn't sleep and just stared out the window.
 
So digging around today, I found a few things I am going to be trying.


Seems to be a Tempco heater. I am not sure of the wattage because they only went to 250 in the Tempco catalog, but since these claimed 500w, I went this route. about 30 bucks. Claims its 900 degrees 6-8 inches from what you want to heat.

also since it said 500w, I found


5.90 each

Just in case, getting a couple 375 watt infrared bulbs, trying white this time since the red seem to create headaches.

I am thoroughly impressed with those fixtures. I figured for 6 bucks I would get a light socket. Spent monday looking for high temperature wire that I can use for these to make plugs. Nope. Complete with wire, switch and plug. I really think there is a problem with pricing on these or just being on clearance. I received them here around Chicago on Tuesday from Ohio. Real quality here. That screw clamp on the bottom should fit a piece of 1/2 inch conduit to make up a stand pretty easily. I would jump on these, got another order in for 8 more.
