Default Glue

Hi, I am just wondering what the best temp is for glueing? I have my shop in the garage and it is here about - 10Celcius. The garage is about 0Celcius. Is this to cold to glue?
Thanks
Ralf

0 degrees celcius (32 degrees F) isn't the warmest temperature to be working in for glue. I would want it to be at least 12 degrees celcius. I would find a nice table in the basement.

"Titebond recommends above 50 degrees F. Do not use when temperature, glue or materials are below 50°F. Freezing may not affect the function of the product but may cause it to thicken."

"In general, Epoxy should be applied at room temperature. In colder temperatures, the epoxy-curing rate tends to slow down. It may require heat to help generate the cure. Always keep the Epoxy at room temperature in order to assure the best cure rate."

32 degree shop??? Get a heater! Lots of things don't like it that cold, including glues, finishes, electronic equipment, and even wood.

You forgot feet, ears, noses, finger tips, etc.
The only thing I can think of that likes the cold is the beer.
