: The other question is for epoxy in general. If it's mixed right and is too
: cold to cure (50 degrees or so) will it eventualy cure or is it possible
: to keep it cold enough long enough that it will stay rubbery even after
: the temperature warms up? I'd hate to have to scrape off rubbery
: fiberglass because of a week long cold spell in the garage.

So long as the batch is measured and mixed properly, it will eventually cure. You can mix up a batch, put it in the freezer for 10 years, pull it out, warm it up, and it will cure. Amazing stuff. Low temperatures retard or stop the cure mechanism, but there is no solvent evaporation or "drying" component to the process.
