We're down in to the 50's now and I'm needing to shoot a bit more primer. Using PPG
DP90LF and K36 over the top of it.
The coolest reducers that I can find are 60°-70° DT860 and I’m wondering if the
hardeners and catalysts are gonna kick off with the temps in the mid 50’s?????
Any real painters out there??

If it was me I'd try a little on some piece of junk and determine the outcome.
Speaking of cool, it's 36 this morning down here.

You could take the panel outside, heat, paint, and then take it back inside. Provided its something carry-able.
That's what I've done before when I had to get epoxies and resins to kick off, and paint and varnish. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | my paint guy has a DIY heat lamp fixture, 4 infrared floods on a crossbar that warms up areas quite nicely, any infrared type heater would do what you need, indoors or out [with a wind screen]

Maybe even warm enough for primer
