REQUIRED MATERIALS (All can be bought at Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc.)

• One white metal US mailbox, 19” long X 6 ½” wide

• One ANGELO Candelabra Base with Snap-In Socket and Switch

• One 40 watt Candelabra bulb – frosted.

• One ACURITE Combination Digital Thermometer

ASSEMBLY

• Cut a 1” X 7/8” square hole centered 2/1/2” from the end of the top of the mailbox. (See Photos)

• Insert the Candelabra Base into the hole, it just snaps in.

• Place the thermometer probe halfway and near the top inside of the mailbox. The probe has a self-stick piece on the back.

• Place the thermometer on the outside of the mailbox door per the photo.

• Insert the light bulb, plug in the light and turn on the switch.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The front door of the mail controls the temperature. Since the door cannot be completely closed because of the probe wire, the maximum temperature recorded after two hours was 110°F. The lowmelt solder melts at 157°F or 70°C and the white metal (pewter) even higher, therefore it works. It also provides a dust-free area to dry those models up to 18” long.
