Ive been looking into making a valve cover or skinning a valve cover as well making an exhaust tip. Can this be done with Carbon fiber? Im assuming the Fiber itself can handle the heat but
im worried about the epoxy. Are there any that can handle high engine temps? or exhaust temps (muffler tip temps)

Im making an exhaust end cap for my motorcycle. It is just a surround really so not actually carrying hot exhaust. Ive bought some of the high temp resin an im going to lay up the CF into a fibreglass mold ive made. Would putting it straight into an oven at 100c as soon as ive laid it up be ok with the FG mold? and how long in the oven would be long enough for a good cure?
