Pot Life Working-Window Estimator

Estimate how long a two-part epoxy stays workable in the mixer as temperature rises.

Rule of thumb: cure roughly doubles in speed per ~8–10°C rise; cooling slows it. Worked example from industry sources: a 10-min pot life at 23°C drops to about 5 min at 31°C. Always confirm against your adhesive datasheet — this is a planning estimate, not a measured value.
