Can anyone give me advice on post curing uni-mould system moulds for use with low to mid temp pre preg. On EC's pdf it says-

10hrs at 60c >  2hrs at 70c >  2hrs at 80c >  2hrs at 90c

My question is are times and temps correct and do i need to use specific Ramp Rates?

Cheers!

The temperatures and times are correct.

THe temperature change at each step is relatively small so ramp rates make little difference. The initial upto 60C section most ovens standard rates of around 2C a minute or so will be fine.
