Hi, I'm new and I apologise if this is a dumb question. I'm making things out of carbon fibre with compression moulds and they will easily fit into a kitchen oven. I googled it and nobody seems to be using their kitchen oven. Is there a hidden problem that I'm missing? Will the epoxy fumes kill me or something like that?

The reason I want to make the switch from room temp epoxy to pre preg is that I can't seem to get a neat weave. Will using pre preg help me keep the weave straight?

My oven goes as low as 60 celcius and my moulding material can withstand 300ish. So getting the right temperature shouldn't be an issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cool, thanks Warren!

Does the temperature have to be that exact. From what I've read pre preg can cure in anything between 80 and 150 celcius. I was just going to set it to 120 and leave it for a couple of hours. Can you over cook it? I mean over cook it time wise not heat wise.
