POST CURE:
TC-1600 A/B may need to be post cured when parts or tools will be subject to service temperatures in excess of 180°F (82°C), or after laminating in cold weather conditions. Generally, most laminates can be de-molded at room temperature after 12-15 hours. Post-curing will expedite demold time, however a laminate should always be allowed to cool to room temperature before demolding.
RECOMMENDED CURE SCHEDULE:
1) 77°F (25°C) - 16-24 hours [Will provide service to 180°F (82°C)]
2) 150°F (66°C) - 2 hours followed by step #3
3) 250°F (121°C) - 1 hour [Will provide service to 300°F (149°C)]
