Yes no probs keep the prop air tight and plenty of spray on clones and inside prop. Temps need to be quite warm for cuttings I have mine up at 26 to 30C if there lower they take longer to root but will still be ok
Patience is the key assume 2 weeks for good rooting if temps are lower

I wouldnt stick mine under a 600W and spray them, the leaves will burn.

Just keep spraying the dome once a day should be plenty the propagator should have vents on just keep them closed.
You dont want to have the clones saturated for days they just need a good spray once a day if they are too wet for too long then you can have problems but its unlikely.
just keep your eye on them and be patient the clones will look great at first then they will start to droop and you will panic but then they will pick up its just part of the process.
the cuttings dont want any large leafs on if they do then cut them in half theres vids on youtube for this. if your not sure then ask i will source one for you
Are you using clonex or similar rooting stimulator? that will also help

Just put a sheet of newspaper over the propagator to reduce the light until they're settled and looking OK
