epoxie heat rating

Submitted by Larry on 8/13/01. ( ) 209.240.220.161

Just wondering if anyone knows the heat rating of the various two part epoxies? I'm thinking of useing it for some auto trim work and as you know it gets very hot inside of a car with the windows rolled up.(Especially here in Texas)What temperatures can it be subjected to before it fails? Thanks, Larry

Epoxy Heat Range

The standard epoxy resins start breaking down around 350 degrees F. The inside of your car shouldn't reach much more than 160 degrees F.


I have used PC-7 for repairing car steering wheels

From time to time I repair the old rubber steering wheels for show cars. While I am sure other epoxies will work fine a old body man showed me this trick years ago, and it still works today, once sanded it will accept Krylon primer sand and paint to match the interior. Good luck


Thanks for the info guys
