I have always been curious on this subject and any data that might give a person an idea of possible contaminants produced by heating systems and especially un vented heating systems. I use a propane powered salamander heater in my insulated hanger. Because I have always been concerned about contaminates, I do not apply paint while running the heater. I also take special care to wipe down anything that may have been previously exposed to propane gases. I have never felt that I could get humidity and other conditions ideal enough to paint while running the heater anyway. As far as mixing composites and such, I usually (as I recall, its been a while) mixed with a higher ratio of hardeners so that my work would set up faster in to compensate for the colder temps. That's my unscientific, very vague input on the subject.

In Ohio the temps are getting down there which will require me to heat the shop. At present the only source for heat is a torpedo style Kerosene heater. Are there any thoughts on using Kerosene heat? My concern would be the oil film given off by this type of heat. I am in the boat stage and was wondering about the exposed wood being subjected to the fumes or film?
