In Response To: ideal resin temp (dave)

:Hi Dave,
An ideal temperature might be 75 degrees. A minimum temperature is a more interesting question. It was 10 in my shed when I got upthis morning. I had to refil my propane tank because it was too cold and the last two pounds wouldn't vaporize. I got the temp. up to 40 and then glassed the inside of my Great Auk.As it falls into the teens tonight at least I won't have to worry about out-gassing.
I do bring my epoxy inside the house overnight.
Have fun.
