Title: Method of curing plastic coatings on bottles

Abstract: In the coating of glass containers with a plastic film, the curing of the applied plastic film to the container is an extremely important phase of the overall process. Generally, the most economical method of achieving cure is to carry a plurality of the bottles through an oven where the curing operation is accomplished, the bottles being carried on a moving belt. In order to allow such containers to be carried on the moving belt, the base must achieve a partial cure, prior to being placed on the conveying means for passage through the oven. In accordance with the present invention, means and a method are disclosed for providing a sufficient cure of the coated container base to allow for final curing in the oven.
