Built your own UV rig
Several pages on how to create your own UV curing rig, or UV device for other purposes.

Curing rigs - Actual hand built examples
I'm handy with a soldering iron, but I am NOT a carpenter. If I can build these then YOU can do it better! Here I show you some of my projects, to give you ideas on how to build your own, and show you how easy it is. We also have examples from customers, so take a look inside and get some good ideas.
Surfboards
Surfboards can bring extra challenges, particularly if you are curing boards over 6 foot long. I explain a few principles here and provide images explaining how to do this.
Build a fishing lure & pool cue rig
Pool cues and fishing lures are both common requests for UV curing lamps, and they can use the same basic rig. This rig is good for any small items, and just uses four lamps and one ballast.
Violins
Several lighting products for drying finishes on violins and similar instruments. Our most popular is 4 foot kits for viola and violin, but we also have 2 foot and 6 foot bulbs available.
Guitars
Using 12 to 16 lamps, you can create a completely professional curing booth that is capable of curing many guitars in one day. Curing upright, you can build in a booth in well under 10 square feet of space.
Plants
Trichomes or not, a variety of plants have shown to increase essential resins when exposed to UVB in particular. Whether you are growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, or (legally) growing medicinal cannabis indoors, this explains some basics on the rigging.
Wood aging
Many carpenters are using ultraviolet lights for aging wood. This is most common to match up fine wood used in repairs in the home or yacht, but it is also used for new items to give them a weathered looks, and a warmth and depth that before, took years to accomplish. Here are some basics.
Clear plastic shields
Important information if you are going to build an enclosed fixture.
Solacure Means Quality
