I'd guess 7 or so there Cory. He needed to get it nice and hot to burn off any paint fumes while it was outside. You haven't even begun to see flame if you have only run it on 2 ;)
 
I think that was about 6-6.5. I'm was surprised how little it actually stunk during the burn off. It smoked for about 15 minutes and that was it, and it wasn't heavy imho at all. You'd want a window open for sure if doing it inside. I'd highly recommend the imperial polish. It was really easy to apply and it came out great, Far exceeded my expectations, and it only took just over an hour. I used a small piece of old t shirt, and a cheap 1" paint brush that I cut the bristles was down on for all the decorative areas. I used a liitle more than half of the 6oz jar. I think it was way, way easier than trying to paint it.
