Hi guys, I just tried to do a resin infusion (doing it as a hobby, glassing wings for model aircraft) in the garage and the resin just didn't want to play ball. After 5 hours of using a heat gun to get the resin to flow into all the spaces on the wing (doubly hard to do the top and bottom of the wing at the same time) and the damn stuff just wouldn't shift, what's the minimum working temperature for this stuff. It's been a cold night, started at 4 deg and it went down to -1 deg. I know the pot life is 40-60 mins, I guess I stuck with it out of desperation as the wing alone took 38 hours to shape  . Any input would be great, thanks guys.

Hi CJ,
No I'm not on RC groups, good tip on dropping the vac a little, I'll give that a go on the next run... i've been tacking the glass cloth in place with a few spots of superglue to hold it straight... seems to do the trick.
