Was interesting to learn about though

Epoxy is epoxy it doesn't discriminate between RC & other applications

The melodramatic Gurit summary aside, what exotherm means is a compromised bond, how much depends on a few factors. If you think cooking your Araldite in your Kingswood at 40-50 celcius is a good idea, then who am I to stand in the way of backyard theories!! I sense that crazyjr probably doesn't want his gluing to come 'unstuck' if he can avoid it though & slower, moderate temps gives better results
