Upon completion, the tool should be allowed to cure at ambient temperature. At that point apply an oven cure according to the following schedule (this schedule is recommended for a tool which will be exposed to an operating temperature at 350ºF):
1 hour @ 150ºF
1 hour @ 250ºF
3 hours @ 350ºF
1 hour @ 400ºF
After the oven has cooled to ambient temperature (77 degrees) remove the tool.
