I have made a carbon skinned car bonnet using the XCR resin system, the time for post curing is now required before a final block sand and paint.

Most bodyshops I have spoken to either want an entire full days rate due to their booth being taken out of action; or are generally pushing back.

I'm not sure if I should be considering heat lamps due to how the heat would be focused, I remember a long while ago reading about electric blankets though and began wondering if this would be a preferred method?

I had to fill the inside of the bonnet with a 2 part expanding foam to stop it inverting whilst under vacuum, this however is acting a bit like an insulator and therefore stops me from my original plan which was to post cure it using engine heat. I tried driving for an hour today and it was luke warm at best.
