Hi:
We're having an exceptionally cold and long winter up here in Winnipeg, Canada. I have an insulated garage, but I just heat it when I'm working in it (don't trust the electric heater). I don't want to leave the heat overnight and can't guarantee the temperatures will stay higher than 0C overnight.
I've been putting off to reassemble a transmission due to the low temperatures (and low ambient humidity) which seem to delay the curing of Permatex Ultra Grey.
Looking at the forecast it seems I won't be getting positive temperatures for another week... So I need to get going.
Looking at the technical datasheet, there's no specification on lowest curing temperature. It just specifies that "Longer cure times will apply to applications in low humidity conditions or colder temperatures."
The environmental resistance is specified to as low as -54C but there's no specific minimum curing temperature.
Has anybody experienced bad curing due to low temperatures? If so, how low was it?
Thanks,
Jean
