Hi Rick,
I have had to post cure a few rockets I have made. I am not sure if you
really need to get this complicated, but most epoxy manufacturers give a
schedule for post curing. It states what temperature for how long, basically
a slow rise in temp and then slowly back down again. The max temp isn't too
hot but you might want to test it on the foam you are using. There is more
info on this and plans to make a simple post curing oven at
http://www.shadowaero.com/Materials.htm
Be sure to check out the projects page for some amazing rockets.
