Hi I purchased some of your 2 part carbon epoxy to fill in the worn brake tract on my carbon wheels, and have realised that it has a low TG because when I brake the epoxy gets too hot and starts to burn away!!!!
Do you sell a epoxy that has a very high TG that comes in black and would be able to take the heat produced when braking.
Thanks

Post curing is reheating the part after the initial curing process at elevated temperatures. So if the resin is allowed to initially cure at ambient temperature say 20 Degrees C, the part is then placed in an oven or some other heat source and heated to a temperature above what the resin/part will be exposed to in use. So in your case if the temperature developed during braking is say 60 degrees then you need to post cure above that, say 70 degrees to include a safety margin. Hope that makes sense.
