Greetings,

I have searched the archives for information on post
curing and found several mentions of this as something
good to do to increase strength of our airplanes at
higher temperatures as well as prevent the appearance of
glass weave through the paint after it has spent some
time in the sun.

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,
