So yesterday I decided to sand my face 4 frames and drill 384 holes
for shelf pins. Not wanting to get started too early I ate lunch
first and then spent from 12:00 to 4:00 pm in the heat doing that.
I quit for the afternoon and noticed the digital garage thermometer
said 100 degrees.

If you were working with epoxy, you would start about 05:00 AM,
stop about 09:30 AM, 10:00 am latest and resume after 04:00 PM,
working until last light.

The rest of the day is spent doing non heat sensitive tasks, like
drinking beer G.

But at 100 F, TiteBond is going top behave very much like epoxy.


I really did not notice a difference with TBIII at 70 or 100. Either
way with wind blowing on the glue it skims over sooner. And I cant wait
until the temp drops much. The garage is 95 all night long. ;~(


I suspect that the temperature was also a major contributing factor to
the collapse of your saw horse.
