180 degrees is the magic number with most epoxies, and 180 degrees (F) will not effect most wood in a short time. It will NOT be as strong if you simply adjust the chair, then let it cool; i'd scrape as much off as possible while it's hot, then let it cool and sand just enough to allow the wood parts to fit properly, then apply new resin..

I epoxied an arm on a wooden chair crooked. I understand that heat will soften up the epoxy. Can I soften the epoxy with a heat gun, straighten the arm, and let it cool and harden, or once it has been heated, is the epoxy shot? Thinking about spring, I am looking at tiller extenders. Any recommendations for m-15?
