Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 71	Hello guys I am new here. Congrats to all of you for the great work.I am using carbon fiber pre-preg that cures for 2 hours at 175 degrees . Is it possible to cure at 50 degrees for much more time ?

Prepreg's curing in lower temperature than its datasheet

Possibly, but sort of impossible for us to tell you that as it depends on your specific material. If 50 degrees is enough to activate the resin, then it should be able to cure after a sufficient...

Additional to what hanaldo said, it is almost certain that you will get a very bad surface, as the resin will never reach a low viscosity to give a nice finish.

There are some pre pregs that will cure as low as 65C and this takes about 16 hours I think. I think many can cure at 80C but thsi can take all day. I use polyester moulds and always cook at 100C...

sounds like you are trying to use an aerospace resin system prepreg if its that elevated temp, you might be able to cure at a lower temp but as above the surface finish wont be that nice and the...
