Under 4 degrees? You must be a diehard sub box builder. hell i thought i was bad. my dad parks his truck in a big 80 x 40 foot shop and it stays around 40 degrees in there, just to keep shit from freezing. and i cant stand it.

It's not THAT bad, because I have a heated garage, but the heater's been broken, so it isn't heated right now. Box needed to be done by today, and if UPS hadn't ****ed my delivery of carpet, it would have been done yesterday.

And I just checked the joints again this morning. Theyre hard as usual, but indeed are powder white. This better not **** it up, or I'll be a little unhappy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I'm just hoping it doesn't, because the joints were yellow, but the excess turned white. Literally like baby powder white. Weird as hell. I'm thinking that it has to be the cold because I bought it only a few months ago and used it two weeks back when it was mid 40s with no problems, and I've had the same jug of T1 for 8 months and it still works fine (used about 3 weeks back). This is the newest bottle I have, and even when I tried using the T2 from my smaller bottle, the same thing happened.

It's the cold man.

When I lived in Idaho, for the most part it was lower single digits throughout december and part of jan. I tried to build one box in the cold, and the glue just turned white and wouldn't really cure well (original titebond).I ended up building most of that in the dining room and garage instead of the shop.

Got it. Installed it today, but found another problem which is completely unrelated. It's in the electrical section.
