I also saw the "place it in the oven" idea with just the inside light providing heat. Has anyone tried this? I tried leaving the light on in my oven, and I must have the most efficient light in the world as it doesnt feel any warmer than the kitchen itself. I guess I could preheat the over for a minute or so, until it reaches 110º, turn it off, and then place the model inside?
I pretty much use Duplicolor exclusively, and polish in as little as 4 days without any problems (with just air and sunshine to dry it out). I use my oven quite frequently to speed up drying as well. I have 2 bulbs in the back and after about 30-45 minutes with the door closed, they heat up nicely. The only time it melted the plastic is when my wife turned it on without checking first! Definitely not recommended!!!
