[RCSE] Post Curing Epoxy

2002-01-15 Thread Rick Eckel
Are you scratch builders doing post curing of your wing layups? I'd like my wings to resist dimpling better and I'm wondering if I need to post cure. If so how long and what temp do you typically use. Do you let the epoxy room temperature cure for a while before adding heat? Thanks for any

The Spectra which is a polyethylene fiber can also be used as a hinge material and apparently some are using it. However, being the world's strongest fibers (10 times stronger than steel and up to 40% stronger than Kevlar) is also very expensive. The point I tried to make is that most people are us

Hi Rick, I have had to post cure a few rockets I have made. I am not sure if you really need to get this complicated, but most epoxy manufacturers give a schedule for post curing. It states what temperature for how long, basically a slow rise in temp and then slowly back down again. The max te
