Title: yamabond curing temps
Post by: Greaser Greg on February 13, 2021, 01:02:48 PM
Anybody ever assembled cases in a shop that goes below freezing when not heated? Forecast is for near zero F.  What could go wrong?   :dawg: :umm:
I'd rather not carry the assembly from the house to shed since I might slip on the ice and drop it, plus the lighting and obvious convenience of being where all the tools already are.  Will expansion of different materials in cases and seals be an issue?

Are you using 4 or 5
Yamabond 4 sets in 60 min according to Yamaha
Yamabond 5 cures in 26 mins

Are you putting it on warm on a warm surface?

I have both 4 and 5.  Isn't 4 recommended for cases?  I'd heat up the shed and the Yamabond has been in the warm house, so yeah, warm and warm.  Where do you use the 5?
