Hi Aldo,

I really don't think you want to heat a scuba cylinder in an oven to dry 
paint.  It can effect the heat treatment of the metal, and result in some 
possibly spectacular results, usually at a filling station.  It might not 
make the fill station operator particularly happy as they carried off 
whatever pieces of him were left.

Take care and dive safe,       Scott

Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and 
scramble up out of the pit.
