[pianotech] Epoxy

[Mike Spalding]

Joe,
For our edification, can you name one epoxy that cures faster cold than 
hot?  This  cut-n-paste from the West Systems "how to use" page 
summarizes the behavior of every epoxy I've ever used:



*/Figure 1---/All resin/hardener combinations go through the
same phases of cure. All combinations cure faster at warmer
temperatures and cure slower at cooler temperatures.

cheers,

Mike
