Best to cure fiberglass in the sun?
Hello Paint Experts -
I've been told my Roadster kit is on the way!!! We can't wait and have our body buck and frame dolly ready to go. We had heard that it is best to leave the fiberglass body in the full sun for 6-12 months in the while you are working on the chassis so that it has time to shrink and cure. Can any paint experts confirm this? I live in Scottsdale AZ. I can leave the fiberglass in full sun and it would see a high of about 90, but as we get into "winter" with with a lower case 'w' it would only see a high of 60 and a low 40 during the day. I had heard it is best to leave it outside in the sun and even in the 110 degree heat for as long a possible before paint prep to let the fiberglass cure and shrink. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Thank you and please be safe!
