Epoxy adhesives have handling properties that are expressed with regard to a specific size bead at a specific temperature. This mass/temperature measurement is meant as a guide. The larger the mass (or bead), the faster the material will gel. The smaller the mass, the slower the material will gel. The work life and gel time values published on all Composite Polymer Design technical data bulletins were measured at 77 °F (25°C), unless otherwise indicated. At temperatures greater than 77°F, the gel time/work life of the adhesive will be curtailed and at temperatures less than 77°F, the gel time/work life
of the adhesive will be prolonged. The ambient temperature of a shop and the size of bead being applied should be taken into account when determining the work life and/or gel time of the adhesive. Be certain that the adhesive has been allowed to cure thoroughly before stressing the bond.
