Default Brake fades if hot

Hi, I have very much brake fading, if they get hot.

Is this normal that on steep downhill driving after about 1/8 ml the brakes are so hot that there is only a very little braking power?

The brake linings and the mechanics I have completely renewed / revised. The contact pattern of the friction shoes on the drums are good.

But all 4 brakes get so hot after this short time that I can no longer touch them. Spit against evaporates.
