Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and cure. Just be aware of the mass of your part. If it is a small aluminum part, it may only need to cure for 15 minutes. For a larger, heavier steel part, you may need to cure for 20-25 minutes or more to allow the part to reach 400 degrees for the full cure time. The part itself must be at the 400 degree curing temperature for the amount of time your powder says to cure. A little more time isn't as much of a problem as too little time. Make sure your powder has plenty of time to flow out and be smooth and glossy. You don't need to turn or rotate the part during curing.
