7 Trim Article and Fully Cure Molding in Oven 

The state of cure at this point allows for the easy removal of a large proportion of any flash that may be present. This can be carried out using a sharp knife with the material under slight tension. The material at this point will appear to have sufficient properties for use, but the full cure cycle is needed to bring about the complete cure. The article needs a further 2 weeks at ambient temperature to reach its absolute maximum properties. 

Postmolding operations such as final cleanup, trimming to size, or minor repairs can be carried out immediately after the full cure cycle.
