does anyone here work in hotter temp.'s? say around…90 degrees i wanted to swap some info.
I have learned from experience that 75 degrees is the max temp I want for a once in a while builder. At 75 or higher degrees the hot coat does not have enough time to rise, before the resin kicking off.

i am mostly curius about laminating. what will heat and humidity do?
i am mostly curius about laminating. what will heat and humidity do? …Well if it’s cold and humid,good luck.I glass in very hot weather and don’t recommend glassing in these temps(It’s been in the triple digits here for the pasted week or more).The humidity has been also very high between 80-95 degrees. …My shop temp in the early am, about a week ago was 78 degrees. By the time I hotcoated the deck at 1230 the temp had risen to 93 degrees,too hot!!!The deckside coat crinkled,frogeyed,and delamed in a small spot, up by the nose.Well all in all, the board came out great,just took some time ,but no blems. …The next day I shot the 6’-6" same lam,exactly.Started at the same time with the temp.at 76 degrees(both days,humidity was 80+%).I lammed in temps rising to 87 degrees,AND THEN HOT COATED AT 89 degrees.A gamble,but with the right mix,it went off smooth,flat,and shiney(not too waxie). …I have lammed in some high temps,say 95 degrees,It can be done,and it can come out clean,but you better work fast,or you’re goin-na eat it Bra!!!Herb ps.Cooling resin helps much, like heating resin works in cold.
