Hi,

I have made some parts via wet layup over a 3D printed core shape using EL2 laminating resin, then I sanded smooth and skinned in a cosmetic layer with your XCR resin.

I want to post cure them because I need to make sure it can take higher in service temperatures.

I'm not sure whether I need to support it during post cure, is it likely to distort ? And if so how much is to be expected ? I don't have a mould as I didn't make it from one, I wondered if I should make a half mould from the finished part for it to rest in during post cure, or some kind of frame to hold it.

The 3D core is stable at those temps, but the shape is spindly so I don't think that will provide much support.

All help and suggestions welcome !
