UV Drying Box

Ultra violet light assists in the curing of varnishes and is used as a tool by many violin makers.
This UV box has been constructed to accommodate violins and larger sized instruments.

I suggest adding a dust filter around the fan.

[@ozgurgonen9061]

do you think this would help aging the violin itself?

Dear David, which UV light should I get, UV-C, UV-A or UV-B, I dont know which one works better ?

[@direland72]

I use UVA

[@iustineeel5441]

Please tell us which model is the UVA Sylvania tube. In the video is not visible.

Really good! I saw on that had a rotisserie motor at the top and slowly rotated the violin, too.

[@direland72]

I was thinking of installing a rotissorie motor as well. I can always add it in later. However at the moment I am getting good drying results without it...
