40C is a bit low for postcuring, as the Tg will raise to some 55-60 degrees only. For optimum properties go a bit higher. Easy to be done in your area, you already start at 40. Sometimes we are happy to reach 40 WITH heater. You will probably be able to reach 60 or so. Well done!

Yeah, I know. It's great. The one big advantage of this heat, other than working over the winter.

A one day heater rental (which may not be expensive because only crazy people need a heater at 41C!) will do the trick.

I just have to be careful because all of my various epoxies have different post curing requirements. I don't want to over cook any of them.
