NO the part was most likely not fully cured. even though you say it was at temp and then timed for full cure, powder should not soften that fast with just brakeclean. try to put it back in the oven and re cure it for 1 hr at 375. then retest with the brake cleaner. if it is still soft it could be a powder issue but i doubt it.
