Don't necessarily need an oven - but you do need a vac and heat source to cause the epoxy to finish cross-linking and final cure. In aviation we have ovens (autoclaves) in our shops - but more and more aircraft primary structures are composite - and those can't be removed from the jet. When it gets delaminated or damaged (damn catering trucks ...) - we repair them right on the aircraft and use portable 'hot-bonders' that have built in vac systems, single, dual or triple heat controllers with silicon heating pads - and all that is computer controlled and the cure cycle is printed on a tape - or dumped to a computer file for the repair record. There are several manufactures of these and most of the military units carry them in the field. Brisk makes one, HeatCon makes another. Aeroform, etc. I have a 2 heat circuit hot bonder at home with about 5 rolls of carbon pre-preg in my freezer..... Maybe I'll copy Mark and do my widened porsche hood with that.

I'll post some pictures of mine if you guys are interested.
