Are their temperature considerations when using Silkaflex, Parabond, ect? Obviously freezing temperatures would negate the effectiveness of the sealers. What about temperatures in the 50's? Any thoughts? Thanks! Bob

I would store in a heated location before you use it as I think that will make applying it easier. __________________ 1999 28' Safari 2012 F150 Platinum Max Tow 7650 GVWR 3.73 Elec.
