alexpyro101 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I'm looking to build a star drying chamber, and the only problem i have is finding the ceramic heater. Anyone know of any stores that carry them, preferably chain stores (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.) Any replies are appreciated, thanks .
psyco_1322 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I got mine from Ace hardware, you might look online, since they aren't really in session and likely not stocked.
Arthur Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I have an air con/ dehumidifier unit that was small and cheap uses 200W of power and would dry most things
FlaMtnBkr Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 My Walmart has a good one. It is a ceramic heater that has a low and high setting as well as a thermostat that shuts it down at varying temps. It does not have a safety switch on the bottom that has to be depressed to work. I find that makes it easier because you can fit the heater anywhere and not worry about switch. I think the brand is Sunbeam and it was around $15 and I think they stock it year round.
Mumbles Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I think I have the same one Flamtnbkr. It does seem to have some sort of safety switch in it. If I tilt it too much, or knock it off my window sill, it turns off. One feature I'd recommend on a heater is an option for only the fan. This can help to dry some things that are more sensitive to heat such as some glitters.

Smart, i was thinking of buying one with fan only or heat only setting but i couldn't really think of a reason behind it. Thanks for all the replies guys, I'll go and look for some heaters soon.
