Epoxy: Glue in the Great Outdoors *LINK*

Greetings:

Been reading through the archives, but have never seen an epoxy question posed quite like this as yet (unless I missed it):

Will it work to apply epoxy in the cold outdoors, then bring the workpiece into the warm indoors to cure? Outdoor temps currently in the 40's...

I am thinking it will be easiest to apply epoxy outdoors where there's plenty of room to work and drip, etc., then bring 'er indoors where the temps are more conducive to a timely cure, and the space requirement relatively small since I won't need to access it other than to set it down and pick it up. Maybe also extend my working time?

Cheers,
Kurt

Warm to cool is better than cool to warm
