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 ?

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 which is about the limit of the moulds and will takes 4 hours dwell time plus ramping up.
