I have some repairs on veneers of an english tall clock that need regluing and some patches. The only location to work on this thing (over 8 feet tall) is in an unheated garage shop, Its about 40 degrees here in NY, warms up to about 50 during the day, and I'm sure willl be getting colder soon.
So.....how much "cold" does hot hide glue tolerate?
If the "drying" is by cooling and evaporation I would think that as long as it is not near freezing the glue should be fine just the open time would be drastically reduced. I'm sure centuries past wood was glued in cold/winter conditions. Does anyone have any experiance with this situation?
