It's getting colder up here in Wisconsin these days, and while I patiently for my drivers to get built, I am wondering if I should go ahead and start my build?
The Data sheet says that PL can cure down to -40. While I have no intention of going out to the garage in sub zero temperature, I assume if I keep my PL indoors and take it out while I am ready to use it, that it would be ok? Anything above zero degrees?
I don't have a lot of time to spend at once so this will probable be a couple of panels every few days. Figure if I give it more than 24 hours between sessions, that would be enough cure time to handle things?

It's not just the temperature, it's also the humidity, which tends to be low in winter. I'd do the gluing in the house.

That works, I have a spot in the basement, just a lot of back and forth.
Now I just have to figure out how to get some shop air down there, for my brad nailer.....

You don't need a lot of air for a brad nailer. One of these will do it:

Re: PL technical data / cure time
I use an electric brad nailer when working in the house. It is not as versatile as the typical compressed air nailer, but it is light weight and does the job. Happy to not carry a compressor in the house, let alone the noise it makes. Depending on how often you have a use for it, it might be worth getting one.
