Yes, to acheive its high HDT (Heat Distortion Temperature) the
High Temperature Epoxy Skinning Basecoat
would also need to be post-cured at elevated temperatures. The post cure schedule is the same as that for the
High Temperature Epoxy Laminating Resin
. You'll find the recommended post-cure schedule on the
Datasheet for the High Temperature Epoxy
.

Do all your post-curing at the end when you have laminated all the layers of resin on BUT BEFORE YOU START FLATTING IT. This will ensure that if the resin sags into the weave during post curing then you can flat this out afterwards.
