Bake time for fiberglass

Now that my car is running pretty reliably I'm starting to think about paint. I live on the coast and it never gets very hot, so how long do I leave my Cobra at a friends sunny inland house [90-100deg.] to bake before it is safe to prime and paint?

Clyde,

By now your body is 99.999% cured, even at 70F. If you want, leave it in the sun so that the surface gets really hot and check for pin holes and places that bubble up. You can either mark them or use a knife to open them up enough for the bodyman can fill them.

It has been sitting in the HOT sun now for 10 days so I guess I'm safe. I haven't seen it for a week-hope it's not swiss cheese
