Epoxy temp question..

D

Sprayed second coat of epoxy on a quarter panel at 11am yesterday. Metal temp was over 65 until after midnight. My propane heater ran out of fuel I guess. Got up to check on things at 3. At 3 am the lowest surface temp I saw was 60. Cranked up the kerosene heater and have maintained above 70 since.
I did have some shop lights on a few areas, so those sections stayed above the 65.
Am I going to have an issue ? The car will sit for a few weeks before I work on that panel again.. Thanks guys.
 
Should be ok, but keep it warm for another 6-12 hours or so or if you can let the car sit in direct sunlight for the day.(couple of days would be better) UV rays from the sun will cure it.
 
Tech support told me 4 hours at 65 is fine. Direct sunlight will cure the epoxy and you will have to sand before doing anything else to it.
