The instructions say not to apply 5200 below 40 degrees. However, I don't have a heated space to keep the boat, and this stuff takes many days to fully cure. It is currently 45 in Atlanta with highs in the upper 50's-low 60's throughout the week. The overnight lows, however, are between 35-40. Think it would be safe to apply it, or should I wait? I would really hate to wait until spring just to apply this stuff :( My drain plug hole is drilled out, so the boat is useless until I get it installed.
 
Go ahead - just make certain the product is at least room temperature or it will be very difficult to work with.

Give it an extra couple of days to cure and you will be fine
 
I got mine all prepped to put marine epoxy on it yesterday. By the time I got around to applying the epoxy the boat felt cold, so today I plan to set it outside, once the boat warms up I'll put it on. Should be a great day today.
