Epoxy: What's the lowest temp?

Hey Folks,

I went to the fridge a couple of days ago and found a small container of epoxy that I mixed up about five days earlier with a 2" brush permanently attached. With falling temps in Florida and having to postpone glassing my present project 'till it warms up, I started wondering - - whats the lowest temp that you have used SLOW hardener/resin (SLOW hardener?? cause thats what I have on hand) with no problems. I'm talking lowest temps in your work area . . . not outside. I know epoxy suppliers have their recommendations, but whats your actual real life experience been? How far have you pushed the epoxy temperature envelope?

TIA. Happy Building.

Charles.
