>  How long and how hot?

I built a controller to carefully control the bake process. 

I ramped up from ambient to a bake temperature of 50c at a rate of 2c per 15 
minutes. The bake lasted 12 hours and then ramped down to ambient at a rate of

2c per 15 minutes.

The trickiest bit is building an oven that will hold the heat and also prevent

hot spots.

Some people clamp their trailing edges to prevent warping. I didn't and had no

problems with warping.
