Does garage paint epoxy cure faster in cold or warm temperatures?

I coated my garage with Quikrete Garage Epoxy. I followed the instructions completely. The job turned out to be a real nightmare. It was like trying to paint with mud or taffy. It was cold outside but I warmed the garage and the concrete for hours with a 55,000 BTU turbo heater. I now have my heat pump set at 55 degrees. Now I am concerned that it is not curing correctly. Would this epoxy cure faster in the hot or cold?Does garage paint epoxy cure faster in cold or warm temperatures?
I believe concrete should be around 50 to 70 degrees...Read the packaging.If you are trying to warm the floor it might take more than a turbo heater.. Ususally ambient warm temperatures are more appropriate, since concrete holds it temperature for a long time.Does garage paint epoxy cure faster in cold or warm temperatures?
Listen, this is a project that you want to do one time and one time only, Ambient temp is always critical for all paints, however, the concrete surface temp is just as important. Not sure where you live, but in the midwest the ideal time is late spring thru late fall. Please follow all directions, some manu's will not warrant a product if installed accordingly. good luck.
The air in your garage might be warm, but what is the temperature of the concrete ?





On the epoxy can, should be instructions and the temperature range of the product.





Good luck with that.
Almost all paint will cure much faster when it is warm versus the cold.
Ask this same question in google and here is what you get,





';Sounds pretty sensible. Someone also suggesting warming the cans to 90 degrees via hot water in the utility sink. Have to find a space heater to borrow--maybe I'll throw the grill in there for an hour or two...





Not too worried if it cures in 4 days instead of 1--i just want to get it done.





Thanks. ';





Or





';Two component epoxies cure better in warm weather and the colder it gets, the slower the cure time. Many people will mix a two component product together and if they do not get their project completed, they will put the mixture in a refrigerator or other cold place to slow down the reaction of the components so they can warm it up and use it later. So, if you apply the two component epoxy in cold weather, it will eventually cure but it will not be the same as if it were applied at 60 or 70 degrees. How much slower, I can not say. Why not rent a space heater for a day or so and bring the heat up in your garage and then apply the epoxy at the specified temp? I hope the floor isn't a bright white because if you use a propane space heater, it may give yhour floor a slight yellow tint.';





Hope it helped :)
