Like 4 years ago I stripped the roof of a car with abrasive means, and then because of changing priorities it got stuck in the corner of the shop.
Lately temps have been bearable(70s in the day time), just annoying showers coming and going all day. Yesterday I finally got motivated to get that car back out, and since yesterday was sunny I blasted the roof with crushed glass to get rid of the rust that has formed on it from sitting all this time. As I was finishing up, I noticed it getting chilly.
Well, shame on me for not watching the news, but much to my dismay the weather forecast doesn't get out of the lower 60's until MONDAY... by then, I am sure I will have rust forming on the roof due to the humidity.
So now I am in a pickle. My shop is pretty much open air.. So if its 60 outside, its 60 inside. Tenting it is not feasible.
From what I remember, 65 deg is the cutoff for spraying epoxy. Is there some wiggle room to this?
Or I am planning to try to bring the epoxy materials from the shop into the house, and get them up in to the mid-high 70s so the material is cold.
Then set my propane torpedo heater on the hood aimed at the roof in order to try to warm up the roof panel??
How long would I need to keep the epoxy warm? It is just a matter of getting the activator to kick it off, so I shouldnt have to keep the heater running for 5-7 hours would I?
