Hi,
I'm working on my university research. I made a prototype of carbon fiber part. It's like cf strip I made it with wet lay-up process. However I used high temp resin for two ends and EL2 resin for the rest.  My question is that high temp. resin needs elevated temperature post‐cure cycle up to 160C while EL2 just to 60C, how can I post cure this?

I was thinking after I post cure the whole part according to EL2 procedure, I stick only the two ends in oven and continue post curing up to 160. But I hope someone has another simpler solution

Thanks

Mohamed Kiari

As has already been mentioned, you will have a problem of exceeding the glass transition temperature of the EL2 when postcuring the high temperature resin which may well damage the EL2 resin.
