: I have used elmer's and titebond in temperatures below 50 degrees quite a few

: cures...I would toss it out.

Funny you mention that. The one thing that the label is specific about is that if the glue does freeze... no sweat, just wait for it to thaw then feel free to use more. Your practical experience would seem to indicate otherwise.
