What he was saying - and I believe it was Ernest - was: don't blow air onto the front face of your radiator but rather use a blower to draw air out the back side of your radiator.  Attach a cardboard box to the outlet side of radiator as per attached sketch.  Sounds like a good idea to me ...

Is that you Roy?
I couldn't understand your description here. Sorry if I'm being being slow.
