Consistent 1300L cure

Consistent 1300L cure

(OP)
I am looking for a combined heater and blower unit similar to an industrial heat gun for heat shrink tubing, but one that could be mounted upon a box type structure and be vented to act like a kiln-like system.
Max temp 100 deg F.

I need to cure 3M 1300L which is a contact adhesive. The temperature varies from low 50s to 90 throughout the year. We use it in a bead which is a little thicker than the recommended film-on-both surface application but need to control the full cure time.
many discussions later we have decided to wheel whole carts of product into a cabinet/curing chamber/low-grade kiln for 30 mins at 100 deg F to ensure the most consistent cure throughout the year.

One thing against me is that I need to make it explosion- proof as the contents/vapors are hazardous.

Any and all ideas are welcome.
