: Not really. Epoxy acts more like an integrating thermoplastic. You will find
: that the epoxy cures to a reasonable degree at lets say 20C. If you warm
: it up to 40C you will find that it softens a bit. If you maintain the 40C
: it will cure to a higher degree, i.e. if you drop the temperature and then
: increase it again you will find very very little softening. You can do
: this again at 60C and you will see the same.
Hey Shawn, maybe this would be a good way to prevent your Leidy hatch hooks and other epoxied fittings from releasing after sitting on top of the car in the sun. Worth a try. Think Michelle would let you throw the hatch lids in the oven for a while? :-)
