I just finished gluing scarfs and sheer clamps with East Systems and fast cure hardener. The temperature was around freezing outside, and a LITTLE bit warmer in the garage (although it did drop in temperature during the night). My epoxy was applied in the afternoon, and by the next morning I could just make a mark in it with my fingernail, but it was pretty solid. Maybe it was something to do with mixing as confucius said.

Good luck
