    Fiberglass

    Is there a limit to how cold it can be before fiberglass cannot be used and let dry ?

    Are you using polyester or epoxy resin? IIRC, 60 degrees is the lowest temp recommended for polyester and 50 for epoxy. Below that, the curing process stops.

    I'd recommend 70's or higher. If you have really fresh resin and hardener, maybe you can get away with a lower temp, but it's dicey.

    I use a electric space heater in a box I made out of a sheet of polystyrene insulation & dust tape to cure glass in winter. Not ideal, but it's worked.
