epoxy question

[Lost81c10]

I shot some epoxy on my roof on Friday but had some equipment issues that kept me from being able to finish. I shot two coats but wanted to shot a third since my truck will be sporting the epoxy for some time. The weather has not cooperated yesterday or today. Tomorrow at around 5 it will be 72 hours. If I am able to shoot inside the 72 hours, even if it is by two or three, I won’t have to scuff it correct or will it be better if I do? Also in either case, do I use wax and grease remover to clean the roof before shooting it again? I am hoping I can get the roof heated enough with these lights. Do you think they will work? Thank you.

Shoot, and I thought upper 60s was cold. Hey bud, just tow or drive the truck down here and we'll get it done in no time. Just saying.

I think you will be fine. I use SPI and they recommend 65 and above. I think other manufacturers allow a little colder. I think those lights have the potential to make the roof too hot so I would watch that closely to get the distance right.
