Joe, For our edification, can you name one epoxy that cures faster cold than hot?

All combinations cure faster at warmer temperatures and cure slower at cooler temperatures. * cheers, Mike On 11/5/2012 10:55 AM, Joseph Garrett wrote: > Dean May said: > "Joe's trick of using the heat is sure to improve epoxy's flow performance. > But heat will also speed the cure time for epoxy." > > Dean, > Do you always fly by the seat of your pants?
