I am building a UV Light Box as specified in “The New Platinum Print” book by Sullivan and Weese (pp 86-88). I am almost done sourcing all the materials to begin my build but I have a few questions before I start.
- The parts list calls for six (6) “120V-20 Watt preheat trigger start ballast.” I am getting the lamps from 1000bulbs.com and they suggested I used “rapid start” ballasts. Is this okay or should I stick exactly with what the book calls for? If so, why? What’s the difference?
- What is the “White Paint-High Gloss Water Base” is for? It’s listed in the parts list but I don’t see it in the instructions.
- Similar question about “3 Large Wire Nuts.” What is this used for and what is the exact size that I need? I went to HomeDepot to get all the parts and they couldn’t help me because they didn’t know what “Large” meant for Sullivan-Weese. These wire nuts come in exact sizes. Do I need these, and, if so, what for and does anyone know what size do I need?
Those are all the questions I have so far, before I start. I’m sure all I have more during the build…
Thanks.
