Is it Too Cold To Replaster?

[keredewor]

Our renovation continues, we have gas fired blower heaters keeping the property at about 5/8 deg c but when we are not in the property the temperature drops to about 2 deg c overnight, we are still applying sovereign renderlite and it is going off jbut slower than I would have expected and the skimmed ceilings(Gypsum) are taking a while to dry, my concern is long term, is thiis low temperature going to cause long term problems, shall I call it a day with the plasterer until the weather improves, any help appreciated.

Thanks

try and send the gear off in the working day with your heat in the room, should be ok

the longer it takes to dry the better (within reason) i wouldnt force dry it with heaters.

yeah better not to force dry especially anything with lime or lime based .....or then u will be looking on the hairline crack thread for solutions... saw some guys on a site near me putting weber on freezing to the wall already could see the sparkling of the ice hehehe at least they will have some more work next summer

I bet you £50 thatrender wont last untill it thaws out.Was minus - 12 near me last night my van windscreen froze on the inside and one of my drills has froze up solid as well as pva and all the rubbish i had bagged up in my van froze to the floor too and wont budge an inch.So imagine what that webber will do when it thaws out.

Any frost on wet plaster or render will result in CATASTROPHE (or the end of the world)

AT least becuse he sheeted it.When it all falls off it will land on the sheets and not stain the pavement.
