Working in winter!

Would any of you render outside in these temperatures ? if so what temp does it have to be before you stop,i have a garage to start mon but might have to delay dew to weather and dont really want to because work is so slack at mo! :-\

I think its ok as long as its not below freezing cos the water in the mix will.... er freeze!!

put some frostproofer with it and if poss id try and keep the render covered up,wouldnt really advice doing it though but if youve got to go and earn some money what else can ya do mate

It needs to be 4 degrees and rising

It would most likely need frost proofer in the mix because of the temps at night , would do no harm anyway , cheers lads

......... is it ok to leave bonding agents in the van over night in this cold weather.
does pva freeze if so..... is it f**k*d if it does?

 

[gmw]

i think everything water based i shot if it freezes.

hello m8ty, i have always been lead to believe the temperature should be at least 5 degs and rising, and above freezing through the night, a frost proofer through your gauge will help but it dose tend to make your muck go a bit flat.
