Hi,

I have a question regarding curing epoxy to get the best results. The project is a hand layup of fiberglass 3 oz and I'm working with a room temperature curing epoxy with the following properties:
- Gel Time (@ 21C) 38 min
- Demold Time 24hr
- Deflection temp 53 C
- full cure at room temperature 7 days

I'm a lite confused about what is considered the
"
curing'' and 
"post-cure" period, when and how much heat to apply (and for how long).


Thanks

Alexandre
