Hi guys,

Planning to make a pulley cover then it dawned on me that I have to take temperature in to consideration.

I am planning to make the part using the Epoxy resin infusion process at about 3-4mm thickness finished with a couple of coats of clear coat.

I know cambelt covers can get quite hot, so am I okay using this process to make the part? 

I don't have an oven yet and don't plan to until I am more experienced.

Cheers guys

Shane
