Too Cold To Seal?
I gel stained a fiberglass door the other day and it was mid 50's. However, the weather has really turned and it is now low to mid 30's. I'm afraid the weather will not warm back up? I could take the door down but the sidelights will still not be done. Any advice? Will door be ok?

Re: Too Cold To Seal?
Can you tarp it off and run a heater before and after application? Or is this not practical for your situation?

Re: Too Cold To Seal?
If you have already dipped into the 30's you can write off the sealer. If you did burn a forced air heater, moisture would be a problem.
Hm. Aha! Tarp off around the door and use 2 500w lights inside to heat the space. Point the lights up of course. Should be good to go.
