>So tell me guys...is everyone post-curing BEFORE filling?

Fred - I had my control surfaces etc post-cured in my inspector's 
oven before filling. As the epoxy in the filler is not going to 
contribute any structural strength, I see no benefit in post-curing 
it.

Haven't worked out what to do about post-curing the internal layups 
in my wing - the inspector's oven is not big enough for them. I did 
hold the recommended 5 days at 25C for optimum strength in the Redux 
bonds.

regards

Rowland
