Message	We lay up our FSAE Bodies in CF and we have experimented with room temp curing. I strongly advise against it. The final composite will not have nearly the same tensile strength. In so much that the team spent 20+ hours just building an oven to bake the CF pieces in. Also, from experience, many defects come from the vacuuming stage, extreme care must be taken. PS. Making molds is a bitch.
