Glueing EPDM in the cold

[wvabeer]

I am getting new roofing and plan on installing it in 40 / 50 degrees, the latex glue says 50 and up has anyone run into trouble doing it at these temps?

[wvabeer]

Now after I get the gutters on can I use dicor self leveling and ADCO edge sealant to finish sealing everything with temps in the 30's ?

Keep your products in a warm room before use and you'll have no problems with applying it. Have a torch on hand to warm any bends you run into.
I've applied miles of this in B.C winters and I've never had any issues.

You need to build a tent over the trailer get a coule torpedo heaters get it warmthen put the roofing down

Glue is not going to be your problem. It is the material that is going to be a pain. When it is cold the rubber, yea i know, is going to be very stiff making it extremely difficult to get laid flat and smooth. You will be much better off waiting until the temps are in the 70's before you attempt to lay it.

I never thought about that and the rubber is going to be 90 mil even more hard to work with. Maybe heat the roll up? I gotta figure a way to do it. All I have is a big waterproof tarp covering it
