In Response To: Epoxy: Preferred Temp for Epoxy Use (Brad Shook)

: Hi Y'all,

: Does anyone here have a preferred temp for epoxy use, that is do you prefer
: 65 deg so that you have longer pot life or 70-75 so you have better
: viscosity? I'm using RAKA 127/350 and 65 is about the minimum they say for
: optimum cureing. Just trying to get everyone's opinion on what most people
: prefer.

: Brad Shook
: Holland, MI

I try to keep the shop at around 70 degrees, easier on the materials and the workers :)
