jmitch Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 it works in the cold too I know a lil about everything so dont call me Mr. Know it All.
Anotherguy Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 If you mix it hotter all it will do is cut down on the time you can work with it. Just mix it normally.
Gotloud555 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Hey if i go and start doing some bondo work do i need to mix it hotter like fiberglass or will it harden at the same time in the the cold. Thanks, Josh Bondo and fiberglass will no dry properly in cold weather. I know because did this in cold and take way longer to dry when it warm and hot. You might want to do when it warm or do it indoor. Just don't inhale those chemical stuff. It can kill yah..
79 cutty Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 How cold are you talking though? It can function in relatively mild climates...but I wouldn't stretch it too far. Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

jmitch Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 from my experience took my resin to harden like 18hr in front of a space heater with extra hardener, temp was low 40s high 30s bondo work the normal in the same temp also. I know a lil about everything so dont call me Mr. Know it All.

Interesting. I am not sure what the garage gets to with the wood burning stove...not real hot, but I have had good luck using it still....I am going to have to get out there with a thermostat and find out.

basshead4life Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) 18HR.. Damn!! im pretty sure in the summer you could leave the resin with no hardner and it would harden faster lol Edited January 15, 2010 by basshead4life Team S.M.D. Maritime Car Audio- (2) 18" SSA ZCON D1 - American Bass 500.1 - 60 ft of 3/0 -480 Ah of battery - (2) stock alternators (70 +90) - Kenwood Excelon x-794, 4v preouts car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol
