Craig
I was more concerned to post cure the structure rather than the filler on
top.
But both ought to be a good idea and you would rather do it once than twice!
Happy Christmas

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.

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

there might be a slight advantage in post curing the filler, it will be
harder. It might also pre shrink it, so sand flatter, and maybe the
weave won't show through after a few months.
