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,
