: When I built my first kayak I had to work a few nights in
: temperatures around 5 degrees Celcius.
: I was using ordinary PVA wood glue which was not supposed to be
: used below 15C. It seemed to go chalky white and showed no sign
: of setting.
: I found that If I warmed the glued joint with the heat gun just
: enough to make the glue begin to go a bit clear, that was enough
: to start it setting.
: That kayak is still going strong 6 years later.

I confirmed that it is the Tightbond III that I am using. It did go chalky white, but it did seem to cure. When I removed the tape last night it seemed to have good hold. I think I might just continue. After all if I understand correctly as long as it holds so that it remains together then the real strength will result from the fiberglass. I will be fiberglassing on top and inside, and this will be done when it is warm. And I have much to do before then, which is a good thing because I think it will be some time before we enjoy warm weather.
Thanks again for all your thoughts.
