Annealing Oven for Acrylic / PMMA / Perspex / Plexiglas - Searching for Parts

I'm looking to build an annealing oven for Acrylic / Perspex /
Plexiglas / PMMA. Nothing fancy just functional, I'm intending to use
MDF to create a box structure to which I will add a hinged door and
some heating elements. The annealing process is only to about 80C/175F
so I'm happy that the wood will do the job.

I initially considered buying an old oven and ripping out the
elements/thermostat, however for safety reasons I'm not too keen to do
this (The parts are sure to be over powerful), hence I'm trying to
find a supplier for the heating elements/thermostat and controller. I
would happily receive any information anyone could give... even where
to search.

I am based in Europe; a supplier in the UK or France would be most
suitable.

How large will your box be? The surface area and insulation used will
determine how much heater power you'll need to hold at set
temperature.
