Hot box size

[Cozylight]

I'm just in the planning stages and preparing for my Christmas present (Cozy plans). Until then, I getting ready. I want to build the epoxy hot box. I want to make it large enough to hold an epoxy pump and what ever else is normally kept in there. I don't know enough yet to know what's going to be kept in there, but I'm doing some woodwork now and this is a good opportunity to build it. What I need are dimensions. I'll be mounting the heater (40 or 60w bulb) in there also. I can make it as big as needed, just don't want to waste materials and space needlessly. Thanks

I built my hot box with an 18" inside length. If I was to do it over I would have made it longer. Probably 24" inside length I would have more room to keep my 5 minute epoxy hot plus maybe keep some extra epoxy warm. STeve

Thanks for the response Steve. That's what I needed to know. Rog

I don't have a pump. I use a scale, so all I keep in mind is a gallon of resin, 2 cans of hardener (similar in size to a gallon of water?), and a lightbulb far enough away to not cause a fire.
