    How mutch heat could a hull take before the glue got damaged? Used hairdryer today

    Hello, today i used a hair dryer to dryi away water from rear of the hull from inside and outside because im going to reglue some spots where it have small leaks, from the servo rod hole and around the water hose.

    I forgot that the hull could be very hot after using the hair dryer to remove the water inside the hole in the hull and i touch the hull after using hair dryer on step on (smallest blast) and it was maby 140farenheit/60celsius or something, maby warmer.

    How would the factory glue on the hull handle high tempratures?
    If the glue was about to melt, would it be stiff again and strong when it cools off and be strong again like it was before i heat it up?

    Its have factory TFL epoxy..

    Thanks for reply :)

        60C isn't enough to melt a good epoxy glue if so it's not epoxy.

          Thanks for the answers :)
          Good to know!
          Inside a car on a hot summerday it also could reach 60-65c but of course we dont forgot to take out the boat but it could happen, and if we just stopping by a mall or visit people on the way back home it could happend if the car is not parking in a garage.

            Make sure you don't leave LiPos in a car on a hot day, I puffed a bunch doing just that a couple of years ago, and it could have been worse than knackered batteries I am sure.
