Big oven

The industry has gone away from autoclaved composites for the very reason that they need a big oven to cure, the trend is now for resins that cure at room temp and get their strength from a post cure cycle IRO 80C.

The suggestion that this will be a non composite repair is unlikely, but as I said above I suspect that it will be a metalcentric repair that fails to take advantage of the bentfits that composite construction offers.
