Any danger curing Simoniz?

[Athame57]

I want to cure my oil filter housing and sump pan in the oven after painting with Simoniz, will 220 dec for a couple of hours do? People speak of wanting an old oven rather than the one in the kitchen.... any reason for this that matters?

Smell probably?

I'll just tell the neighbours I'm cooking Crankcase Casserole!

When I did my heat curing I fully cleaned the oven first to avoid any residual fat burning as I did not want to risk it tainting the paint finish.

Using my now very clean oven did not cause any undue smells - not as bad as my self cleaning oven cycle in fact.

Turkey roasting oven bags help contain the oil or paint smell.

I use an old sieve turned upside down to keep the bag off the newly painted items.

Surely that would make it smell fowl?    Actually, it is no problem because every day I get the smell of curry, here is a chance to shoot back!

This was my DIY oven made during 1st Covid  lock-down, as I couldn't get into work to cure my paint. Paint was Duplicolor though. Missing is the lid made out of high temperature insulation composite board. Heater was a 99p off eBay NOS cooker oven element (nobody else bid on action  )  and thermostat was £5 from China.

I couldn't use our domestic oven as wife is acute asthmatic.
