Just finished my drying cabinet, which is a modified CD tower that I got on sale for 14 bucks at Ames with my sale price and over 55 discount on Tuesday. Inside dimension is about 58 long by 10 wide and 8 deep and I have set it up to handle 3 rods. Door is a piece of Plexiglas on a piano hinge and held shut with a cabinet magnet and a Velcro dot.
I have started with a 40 watt light bulb and one rod in the cabinet as a test. beginning to think the 40 water is not enough. Anyone out there with a similar setup who might want to give advice on bulb size. The honey dew list is growing as I'm playing. (Jim Tefft)
Give that 40 watt bulb a few hours to heat things up, and you might be surprised. My drying cabinet is 12" PVC, 8' tall. I have a little 18" fluorescent tube in there, and it keep the whole thing about 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the room. But it does take quite a little while to heat up. Be patient. You can always put a 60, 75, or even 100 watt bulb in tomorrow. (Harry Boyd)
I have a little "Y" fitting in my socket so I can put 2 bulbs in. I personally find 2- 60 watt bulbs give me the best results, but my cabinet is a bit larger. (Shawn Pineo)
40 watts is plenty. I have found that too cool is better than too hot! (Taylor Hogan)
