What I have not been able to find is any discussion around the "how" of post curing. How hot should I get the layups? For how long? How hot is too hot? Is warming it up with a heat gun good enough? Does it need several hours? etc... I would appreciate any advice you all may have for me as I am about to begin priming and painting. Regards, Dan Olsen Lancair 320 MKII Fort Collins, CO
