Hi,

I have a pattern of a rc glider stabiliser made of foam and several layers of IN2, pattern coat primer and pattern coat hi gloss.
I am making an epoxy mould with this pattern and EG60 + FG layers + IN2 + poraver.


I need to know if I should post cure the pattern before making the mould and what is the Tg of pattern coat primer and hi gloss
Or build the mould and post cure it?
Should I post cure the mould with or without the pattern?
I plan to perform a post cure cycle as noted in TDS: :• 24 hours at 25°C• 2 hours at 40°C• 2 hours at 50°C• 2 hours at 60°C

Do I get the same properties if I wait 15 days and no post cure?
For the final CF stabiliser can I post cure the part up to 60C?

Thanks for your support

Kind Regards,
Olivier

HI Warren,

I must rework the part ( it is a little bit twisted) would it be better to finish it with the new S120?
