We would recommend following the post cure cycle in the technical data sheet which is:

24hrs at 20°C
10hrs at 60°C
2hrs at 70°C
2hrs at 80°C
2hrs at 90°C

Not one by one, just stepped. It doesn't have to cool down in between, you just need to heat it up in that order and allow it to soak at those temperatures for the specified amount of time.

Haha... In case that wasnt a joke - Don't use your home oven to post cure a styrene based mould. Lots of toxins to linger in there and taint your food. I have a dedicated curing oven, and it stinks of styrene for days after curing a mould in there. In fact it probably always stinks, I just cant smell it anymore haha. Your wife will not be pleased!


Build a dedicated curing oven or even just a simple hot box, they are so simple and cheap to make. Otherwise stick to ambient temp cures, don't use your domestic oven.
