I did a quick search on this but couldn't find an answer so here is a new topic! Can a household oven be used for curing? Other than a vacuum bag port of some sort, what modifications absolutely need to be made for it to work? I have access to a cheap used one that i could put in my garage but wont bother if it wont work well for composites!

Of course, it would work fine. 

If you are wanting to use it for pre-preg curing, which I'm assuming you are given you want a vacuum port, then you really need to get a PID controller, as standard household ovens don't have very good temperature control at all. Really a PID controller would be ideal for whatever process you are doing, and dead simple to install (though you may wish to hire a qualified electrician to do the wiring). However if all you are doing is elevated temperature cures on infused or wet-laid parts, then a household oven works just fine.
