My garage is detached, and just a shell, no insulation. I've solved my
problem by doing what my eaa consular suggested, butting the resin in the
frig. and cooling it off. I got the large piece of glass on with time to
spare. He was concerned about groceries in the box, but the only thing I
have in the one in the garage is beer.... It doesn't look like it affected
the resin at all. Thanks to all for the help,
David

Greetings All,
I'm building a composite fuselage in South Texas, with out the aid of

setup
time a little longer. I promote it for 85 degrees, I've tried a hotter
temperature but it doesn't set well. The temp in the garage is 95+. I've
put
the resin container in a bucket of water and it helps a little.
I need to do a large piece and the only option I can see is scheduling
myself at 3am in the morning. It would be nicer if I could do it during
the
day. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

How well is your garage insulated? I put some of the silver bubble
paper kind of insulation on the back of my garage door, that made a
big difference. Since I don't have an a/c vent in my garage, I put a
large fan in the doorway to the house to blow house air in there,
that also makes a big difference. I've thought of adding ceiling
insulation (in the garage attic) and blinds on the windows to help
some more.
