Resin is dynamically stable up to the temp it is cured at. Above the ‘cure temp’ it will soften the resin and won't hold the fabric in orientation and your part will lose its shape.

Post curing is a secondary process. After the initial cure of the part - it’s placed back in a mold or fixture to be held in its correct position while being ‘post’ cured at an elevated temp – normally a temp higher than the temp it will experience ‘in-service’ when installed on the vehicle.

This effect is limited by the max temp range on the spec sheet of the chosen resin.

Check with your part manufacture and see what temp the part is cured to – or the max in-service temp threshold it will withstand. Beyond that temp you will need shielding or other protection aids.
