Here in Connecticut it will be a while before we have 72 degree temps and I have no garage, so here is my question. Late spring if temps get to the low 60s and i apply gluvit will it just take longer to cure or will the application be a waste due to flow problems with the gluvit? Any experiences?

I am in Ct as well. The Gluvit will cure but will take 3 days. Thats what mine took to cure and I had it 65 in the garage..but without heat went to 50. Its fine now been a month.

I don't live in Bristol,

I did my Gluvit in 60 - 50 (night) temps, and it took 24 hours to be pretty firmed over but a little tacky, and was hard as a rock after 48.

I'm in Granville, MA, just over the boarder, NW of Bradley airport.

Re: gluvit temps

it's under 50 degrees here and will be until march or so. I covered the boat and put a space heater inside, its toasty at around 80 degrees in there.
