You need to get those solvents out of there, but if you go too hard, you&rsquo;ll scorch the surface and kill that beautiful metallic gloss. That&rsquo;s why we use short-wave infrared (IR) radiators. Instead of heating up a massive oven and wasting a ton of electricity, we target the solvent molecules directly. It&rsquo;s faster. It&rsquo;s cheaper. And your line keeps moving.</p>
