KR>Curing temperature for epoxy

2008-10-12 Thread Rick Wilson
Hi, Today I did some fiberglass work on my project, but before I was done the temperature dropped to around 45-50 degrees. Can anyone tell me if the epoxy will setup tomorrow when the temperature gets back up to around 70-75, or will it not cure at all? Hopefully it is not ruined. Thanks, Rick Wils

It wouldn't be a problem to plug in a heat lamp except for the fact that my new building is 1,000 ft. or so from the nearest outlet. I haven't hooked up the electricity yet. Rick Wilson. --- wa7...@aol.com wrote: > > With the chance of resoftening at 110 or so ? - why > are we not encouraging > th
