Default Will epoxy harden in 20 degree weather?

fairly normal room temp is 106F. I would say that 20F is 9C below a normal
room temp of 20C. So do your calculation using the number 10. In your example
you use 5 minutes. Double that once for an answer of 10 minutes

Not that it really matters, because the post you're replying to is 9 years
old, but what he said was that 20F is roughly 30 degrees C BELOW normal
room temp. That is correct. 30 centigrade degrees is 54 F degree units.
20 + 54 = 74F. Or the other way of looking at it is 20F = -7C,
-7C + 30C = 23C = 74F (room temp)

But I wouldn't count on epoxy hardening correctly at 20F period.
I'd put a small heater on it until cured.
