---From my experience, one lightbulb will be more than enough!
I once put a 100w light in a freezer to dry the insulation
thoroughly, closed the door and left it overnight.  In the

Hi everybody I am new to the list, just got my tail kit , i am going to be
building the motorglider and as far as I know my name is on the first mg
wing to come to the u.s.  anyway my thought on keeping resin was to use a
discarded refridgerator with acouple of lightbulbs and a thermostat . cheap
and well insulated!  just my two cents. Chris Davis builder#A160
