A professional finisher shared this tip with me and I thought I would pass it on.
In Ohio spraying finish/paint in the winter can be a bit challenging due to the cold weather. Finish products don't spray or dry as nice when cold. We do not have an air-makeup unit (ideal solution) to warm the incoming air to compensate for the air the exhaust fan is pulling out.
So on his advice we purchased a heating mat to warm our finishes http://www.farmerboyag.com/supplies/kane-pet-heat-mats.asp
It worked great! I was able to easily spray a beautiful finish (we use a kremlin air assisted airless gun and ML Campbell finish products.) and the heat mat made the difference!
Anyhow I just thought I would share with you all as well in case in would help someone else.
I wrapped the mat in a heavy duty trash bag (see picture below)
