UV box

Hi everyone, I hope you all are fine. I have recently watched the "setting the UV box" video and maybe I missed something, but I don´t remember to have listened what kind of UV lamps is better to use, specially relating to which wavelength is the correct; also if LED lamps are good for curing and tanning the violin wood. Thanks for reading, all comments welcome!

Hi Luis! I asked Corvus the same. He’s added these to his Amazon site that will work well for the UV box: Check out this list Varnishing from mekwokstudio https://www.amazon.com/shop/mekwokstudio/list/3003BS1SXBECU?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsflist_W3DFGAGAJQDT6TS3Z8F4&language=en-US

Luckily it’s LED and not the very expensive reptile UV lights.

I hope you are well!

Thanks Ann for answering!

Yes, any UV lights will do. I am now using LED UV lights that's made for Partying and it's great, and cheap. The UV lights for gel nails are the also fine, just that maybe it's too small for a violin.

LED is great. Any UV lights will do. Just want to let you know that the same thing, in different market, price different.. such as Mastic, in violin making shop VS in Chinese Medicine shop :)

Also, if you can't find a weak fan, the fan people put in computers will also work. The one I am using is 14mm.
