How far have you pushed the epoxy temperature envelope?

: TIA. Happy Building.

Last winter I could only bring my temp from the 40's to the 50's in my garage and it took hours of electric heat to do even that. So I started epoxying in the 40's using Uscomposites slow set. It usually took three days of setting to scrape the rough edges off the glass edges and a week for sanding. So it works but is just slower then heck.
