Hi, I had a crazy idea last day and was wondering what some of you think about it;
-I'm working on a new researchproject at school and was wondering if in any way it could be possible to do a quicker postcure.
by adjusting a microwave in some way.
Post cure a part in the microwave, I don't think anyone tried it before? :p
would the microwave heat the part?
- other question, when you overheat carbonfiber and epoxy it will get soft and flexible, right?
If the epoxy was heaten to much and then cooled down again, does this causes any problems strenght of a part?
I'm well aware that normaly postcuring a part is in steps by adjusting the heat on a long stretch of time and so on.
