I thought one of the reasons for post cure was also to stop your paint job
---From crazing (lots of little micro cracks) which would require post cure of
filler
as well
craig

>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.

Rowland
