Safe temperature limit for heating CF
Just for the hell of it, I've been painting some parts using typical
spray paint. Usually the finish isn't that tough, but I put them in an oven for 3 hours at 375 F and the finish is very tough (and smooth). Is that a safe temperature to which I can subject CF or will it cause some sort of degradation of the material? |

I don't want to rain on your parade, but paint that is put in ovens to cure is engineered to be put in ovens to cure. Ordinary spray paint is not mixed for this. I expect you are getting temporary hardness at the expense of mid-term brittleness. YMMV. "jim beam" will have to answer your CF questions. He's the expert around here. idiot. |

That's kind of what I figured. Thanks. |
