Post by futurexrockstar »

I just read your article on the epoxy that it was essential to heat between 170 and 200 deg F ° C.
This and for all epoxy?

There are two basic types of epoxy that we use to build skis... room temp cure epoxy and heat cure epoxy. The heat cure type must be heated to 160 F for 15 to 20 minutes to obtain an adequate cure. Room temp cure can set up in a few hours, but doesn't reach full cure for many days, depending on weather/temperature conditions.
