The high-temp epoxy that I used on the plenum needs to be post-cured in order to withstand the high temperatures it will be exposed to after engine shutdown. \u00a0I took it down to the Tech Shop and used their large powder coating over to cure it at 150\u00ba for three hours. \u00a0The heat substantially softened it and it flattened out a bit in the oven. \u00a0After I brought it home, it didn’t really fit the baffles correctly and would have cracked if I tried to force it into position. \u00a0I set up my space heater over each side and heated the plenum past 150\u00ba and it softened right up. \u00a0I then pushed it into position and screwed it down. \u00a0This worked beautifully, and the plenum now fits the baffles really well.<\/p>\n
