Richard:

Any heater that exhausts carbon monoxide into your hangar will cause everything metal to rust if you use it continually. I used a large torpedo heater for one winter and discontinued its use because everything metal that was exposed started to rust or exfoliate, plus all that carbon monoxide was not good for me to breathe. I don't think the CO will hurt the e-glass.

Subject: Seasonal Question on working with eGlass

As it’s starts to get cooler (It’s never really cold in Austin) I have thought about auxiliary heat for the hanger.

Is there any problem with some of the forced air heaters Diesel/Jet Fuel, or Propane in terms of the interacting negatively with the E-glass construction.

i.e. If it’s ok for me to breathe is it ok in the construction environment ? These are not externally vented so I was worried about chemical interaction with the exhaust fumes.
