Abstract

A method and apparatus for curing of wet resin-coated articles in a curing chamber by means of a vaporous curing agent. The vaporous curing agent is circulated through distribution members having nozzles or openings which are adapted to disperse the curing agent in an angular direction cocurrent with the direction of travel of the articles being passed through the curing chamber. The exhaust is provided near the exit end, and thus a gaseous flow is induced from the inlet through the chamber to the exhaust thereby minimizing the escape of vaporous curing agent through the inlet opening.
