Temperature Sensitive Tasks

ProcedureMinimum Temperature (°C)Maximum Temperature (°C)Notes
Applying Adhesives1035Below 10°C, adhesives may not bond properly; above 35°C, they may cure too quickly.
Painting1030Paint may not adhere or dry correctly outside this range. Avoid direct sunlight during application.
Cutting/Drilling--While not extremely temperature sensitive, extreme cold can make materials brittle and more difficult to work with.
Sealant Application535Sealants may not set or cure properly outside this range. Humidity also affects curing.
Insulation--Insulation materials generally not temperature sensitive, but adhesives used for installation might be.
Varnishing1030Similar to painting, varnish may not adhere or dry correctly outside this range.
Soldering Electronics--Not highly temperature sensitive, but colder temperatures may require longer heating times.
Applying Vinyl Wraps1822Ideal temperature range for application to avoid stretching or tearing.
Fiberglass Work1530Below 15°C, resin may not cure properly; above 30°C, it may cure too quickly.
