: Thank you all for this insight. I was not thinking I would

: it seems to put off about as much heat as I would need to
: accomplish this task. I am not looking to invest in other

: present. I have a clean shop with no other flamable or toxic
: variables. So It sounds like so far this would be a reasonable

It depends on what kind of hardener you are using, as well. I stupidly tried to use some of the slow Raka hardener I had in a 60 degree shop and it took a day to harden. I bought some fast hardener and it successfully set up in a fifty-something degree shop in a matter of hours. They also have a "low-temperature" hardener for even colder temperatures than that. I'll also be trying to glass the inside of my deck this weekend... temps will be in the fifties at best. Just trying to get done before winter...
