curing clear coats

I have a separate bake oven adjacent to the booth. Because of the way I work it’s rarely off long enough for it to cool down fully so generally I’ll switch it on just before I apply my second coat of clear and by the time that’s done I’m ready to slide the car straight into an air temp of 80°C
I’ve never checked how long it takes the panels to reach 60°C but after 30 minutes they are hard enough to handle and can be buffed as soon as they are cool.
The spray booth also has a bake facility and I add an extra 3 or 4 minutes for that to heat up.
