I ordered fuel tank sealant from Vans in the summer with the intent to finish while it was still warm out, but that didn't happen.
Where I'm at, the high is 44F and the low is 37F, and will trend colder - my garage is not insulated, but I installed a 240V hardwired electric heater last year which keeps it warm enough that I can work at night. I usually don't run the heater all the time. I don't have a thermometer out there to see how warm it actually gets with the heater.
The sealant is stored indoors at room temperature. The sealant expires in May 2022 I think. Should I just wait until spring?
I could also mix the small amounts I need inside, apply it in the garage, then bring the parts and/or tanks inside to let them cure. I don't think building inside altogether is an option.. the fam won't like the acetone and sealant smell, nor the noisy compressor... needs to be kept clean and that cats won't allow that, but I could store in a closed room while it cures.
Probably easiest to wait for spring and hope for a warm week. Or just selling the sealant I have and getting more next spring to restart the clock.
Sincerely,
Poor Planning
