Still more on epoxy resins....

Going back to your original posting, I noticed you were looking for
TWO hardeners, and you wanted the same strength properties in both a
room temperature cure and an elevated temperature cure. I think I've
demonstrated I'm a dangerous amateur in this field, but what little I
DO know suggests that this is impossible. You might be able to
approach the properties of the high temperaure cure hardener by
post-curing the room temperature layups.

Good luck, and I hope I've been of SOME help.


Chris and Ryan.
It may be worth noting that you arent limited to epoxy resin for
layups. The production three winged Eagle-X used vinyl ester with
kevlar, glass, honeycomb and carbon fiber.
a tour through the factory was amazing for the total lack of resin
smells.
I recall also that composite nosebowls which are required to be flame
retardant use vinyl ester for that reason.
may be worth an additional search.
