    RW>> YEp, and I might be wrong on the temp, but it was somewhere

    Roy>> I find this interesting, as I have a resin repair kit in the   
    Roy>> garage. It doesn't mention low temps, but it does say that you   
    Roy>> should park the vehicle in the shade for a while before attempting   
    Roy>> a repair. Once you've done the repair, they say to park it in the   
    Roy>> sun to let it help to cure the repair resin. I had a chip in the   
    Roy>> windshield of my Rodeo a few years ago and repaired it with a   
    Roy>> similar repair kit. When I was done you couldn't even see what was

    RW> YEp, friend of mine back in the midwest who did repairs and

   He, having the expertise of doing them in that climate, is probably right.   
      
    RW>  Said otherwise things didn't set up properly or something.  I'm

    RW> material.   
      
   There's no workability in the material, other than it is injected with a   
   device like a hypodermic needle, which applies a slight amount of pressure   
   so that the material flows into the smallest of crevices. My kit has   
   little suction cups to hold the injector in place while the material   
   cures.   
      
    Roy>> I don't think so. Resin creates heat while it's curing.   
      
    RW> YEah it does, but to work it, hmmm, I see him again when I'm back in   
    RW> the midwest I'll have to ask him about this.  YOu're right though, a   
    RW> lot of that stuff, resins and this mix two parts together to get the   
    RW> product, they're all usually big heat generators, in fact often there   
    RW> are warnings on the packaging of that stuff about it .
