The manual throws up an immediate impediment to post cure them, wish Id thought about that over summer because I could have just put them in the roof of my house which on a 40 degree day would have easily got to 50+ degrees Celsius, I think 50-55 degrees is the goal, if my memory serves me correctly, and yes I will check. Making an oven just for the tailplanes, does anyone have a suggestion of the best way to do this? I have an idea to use structural flooring plywood to make up a box and put a blow heater in there, plus thermometers and some way to swirl the air around so there are no hotspots. Thats not going to be easy to temperature control, so I was hoping builders might offer up ways I could do this, without it becoming a pizza oven into the future, keeping it simple would be a nice goal, of mine. I do recall that the process is important that the temperature be ramped up slowly, and cooled down slowly, is that what others think too? Any help on ovens gratefully considered.

I made an oven out of expanded polystyrene. For heat i used a fan heater with a thermostat set for 40deg c. The whole thing cost less than usd100.

I made a giant box for the fuselage. Hold the pieces together with kebab sticks and tape.
