Concur with Larry on this. I did not post cure either. I've also been lucky and have not had any de-laminations on my wings over the years. I've attributed this to doing a good job on using the wet micro on the foam to seal it prior to putting on the fiberglass.
By the way, my KR2S is back in the air. I did not make the KR Gathering do to a bad Dual Bendix Magneto. I got the Mag back from the shop the week after the gathering, but had to replace the spark plug leads which took another week. Since I had to replace the leads I converted them to Automotive type using the kit from G3i Ingintion. http://www.g3ignition.com/ I flew the plane from Kansas City to Houston TX last weekend to see the "Wings Over Houston" airshow. On the way back I ran into Jack Daugherty in Muskogee OK when I was refueling. Great KR flying!

Heath ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I would respectfully disagree with Dan on this one. Hundreds of KR are flying without post curing any of the glass lay ups, mine included. If anyone experiences warpage of any kind I'd suspect the wood structure, not the glass. The post cure might help to eliminate some of the "bubble de-laminations" that appear on some KR's but that is purely speculation on my part without any evidence at all.
