Is temperature important?

[bjgross]

Just ordered some OS and OCW - can't wait to try them.

 

Thought I read some where that you shouldn't apply OS below 50F. Is that true and if so, what do other folks do in northern climates in the winter?

 

Thanks - great forum!

In our testing we had some issues with cold and OptiSeal laying down right but I believe this has more to do with HOW it's applied. If you use a sponge applicator cold weather may not be suitable but if you apply it with a soft microfiber towel and work it in until completely gone the cold shouldn't effect the outcome.

 

We had a few days here in South Texas last winter were it got below 30, a few teens also, and I applied OptiSeal in my garage with really no problems, cept for a few more streaks than usual but those were taken care of easily with a quick buffing from a microfiber towel.

 

Hope that helps,

Anthony

Thanks Anthony!

 

Wow - I didn't think it got that cold in Texas. OS should be ok here in Seattle - I will apply it in the garage with some bright lights.
