: I was going to heat up my garage to 90 deg. for the wetout with a kerosene
: heater until I saw a post that showed pitting in the finish
: "possibly" from kerosene in the garage.Does any one know if this
: is a problem?

I used a kerosene heater for years in my shop and never had problems.

Bring your space up to temperature and shut off the heater.
Monitor the temperature and when the temperature starts to drop do your wet-out.

All the best,
Rob
