curing
"Bucksch" Wörterbuch für Bautechnik und Baumaschinen" also lists "to cure" which would fit for wood, but without further context I'm really not sure.

: "To cure" would fit for polymers, adhesives, mortar, concrete etc. but not for wood. I think Ken's answer below is spot on. / Thank you, I stand (partly) corrected. However, I do not think that this meaning of "curing" would fit Shane's context.
