Title: how long at 120
Post by: breazyears on July 19, 2014, 08:25:00 PM
just glued up a longbow with smooth on. I can only get the temp up to 120-125. How long do you think it will take to cure at that temp?
Thanks.

5 Hours at 120 should cure.

Temperatures above 75F are NOT required to cure a bow.  I'm no speed demon, so cure bows all the time between 75 and 85 without a heatbox.  But it will take the full cure time listed on the can -- 24 hours.  At 120-25 I'd guess 6 hours to be on the safe side...
