No. Read the package for ideal temps (50-70 F).

Ya, the guy at the hardware store told me 55 degrees F and up. Wow -30? Thats cold!

 

[swordsman57]

ya that sounds pretty cold for fiber glass.

I wouldn't suggest it. It'll be cold for you, and it'll be extremely hard to work with in those temperatures.

Get inside, get somewhere well-ventilated like a garage, grab yourself a respirator (NOT a standard mask), crack open some windows, and stick the heating on. Then you can resin and glass to your heart's content.

Your fiberglass will never cure properly at those temperatures... the resin container will have instructions on the correct application temperature.

do you mean -30c or -30f? -30c is bloody cold. like south pole cold.

I believe -30f is colder, We get -30c here regularly during the winter and doesn't really bother most people.

It would most certainly bother me! The Unicomplex would shut down at -15C due to frozen water pipes and ice bringing down the power lines, and anything more would create a severe problem in transport for general Unicomplex supplies.

It was -30c and thanks for all the respond very helpful.

Then again, I live in Newfoundland. We build our piping and powerlines to withstand these temperatures. But then again, I'm tacking on the wind chill factor when I say -30c. It's more like -23 or -24c without the windchill.

Does it have to be inside some were ?? like why cant i do it outside on my yard???

 

[AoBfrost]

You can, but it's still too cold, also, add the visor please, I dont want to see your helmet get smashed by the weight of resin soaked into the cardstock. Too many people dont add their visor for that model, and end up ruining it when resining.

Well we started anew thread for Non toxic Aqua Resin in the Creation forum , which will not kill you and you can use it inside if you need too. And they have their own fiberglass. They may ship to Canada too *plug plug*
