Hey ahhh, why these parts getting so soft in the sun?

 

How can I fix this? I do resin infusion, is it time to get a parts oven and switch to a higher temp tooling gel?

Hi,

You need to check which temperature your mold can survive to. If you'r using unimold, its about 90°C. If you're using mold making puty + green epoxy gelcoat, its about 60°C.

But, do not forget to post cure the MOLD itself before post curing your part in the mold....

Post curing your mold is easily made following post cure cycles given by the EC team on their pdf data sheets which you can find on the webpage of the product you want to learn about.

Hope it helps.
