Okay I guess I wasn't quite clear I was wondering if wood heat or unvented propane would cause adhesion issues with epoxy. I have been told that kerosene heaters can put out fumes that cause issues with epoxy

I always have a CO detector when heating shops with anything other than electric. So far I have never had any readings and I tested the unit with bump gas used to confirm calibration on 4 gas meters.

I have yet to decide on the next build so the timeline will probably be spring before glassing and the heat lamps should be fine for that.
