7 Important Points
- Epoxy curing creates heat naturally.
-
This is called an exothermic reaction.
- Larger mixed quantities can generate more heat.
- Thick pours can retain heat.
- Higher room temperatures can increase curing activity.
- Excessive heat can damage a project.
- Always follow the manufacturer's recommended pour depth.
