Bill, somewhere I've read of a fellow that just added a temporary
extension to an ordinary kitchen oven, made of that foil covered
insulation board and (as I recall) aluminum tape. He said it worked
well for him.
Also, we're just talking curing powder coat here, not baking a cake. A
50F variation won't hurt anything, as long as the entire part gets to at
least 400F. With the element on, there is going to be a sizeable
temperature variation through the oven (after all, the surface of the
element gets red hot), but once it shuts off, it should even out fairly
rapidly.

Yes, but they have another metal outer layer, and many of them have a
minimum safe distance. If you provide those, I think you'll be fine.
Besides, wood doesn't ignite until 570F or something like that (even
paper is 451F), and you're not planning to run that hot.
