Heat lamps-where to get one and what kind?

So after tinting a few cars in the new shop it has come to my attention that I am putting out dirty tint! Problem # 1 is that it's been under construction so there has been saw dust and drywall dust everywhere. It also doesn't help that the only source of heat I have is a fan heater that just blows all that crap around the place. So after seeing an abundance of crap in my last 3 jobs I have stopped all work in the shop till it's cleaned from top to bottom. Did that today by starting at the highest shelve and dusting the entire place. Then I mopped, then I soaked the floor and floor squeegied everything out the door. It was like a grey river flowing out of the joint. Still can't beleive I was tinting out of that place.

I still have the heater issue! I can stand the temp, but with the chilly weather the film doesn't dry enough all the time so I am looking for another form of heat. My only competitor (down the street) uses heat lamps and bakes the film on so that you can roll the windows down the minute you leave his shop. I peaked in his door one Saturday when he was closed and saw his heat lamp set ups. Basically he had 2 tripods with 4 heat lamps on each. One for each side of the car.

Can anyone tell me what parts I need for these and where I can get them? Thanks!

Hi CJ
be careful with heat lamps we tried them years ago and they worked OK
but we had 2 problems which cost lots of money

first problem was someone tripped over the electrical cord and the lights fell against the car requiring new side glass , fender and door repair

second problem - a newbie put the lights too close and melted TWO wing mirrors ($450 each plus painting)

the first thing to consider with lamps is fitting a timer so you dont cook everything

I am in Australia and we got our lamps from a repair shop supplier BUT we threw them away about 5 years ago

On cold days we run the cars in the doorway of our shop with heater on full blast and air con on (to dehumidify the air) it generally takes about 30 mins depending on the film

regards

Never thought of it like that.

I need to figure out how to heat the shop without blowing air and dust all over the place. I still might try my luck with the lamps and will make sure to be very careful.

Thx!

if your looking to heat the shop look up infra-rez they are a radiant heater and works very well.

Did a quick search for'em. Thanks! Have you used them? I was looking for both, a good shop heater and a heat lamp set up. I'm not happy with this fan heater I bought from Homey Depot. Blows crap everywhere.
