Manufacturer sheet reviewed: ideal application temperature is 21°C at approximately 50% relative humidity. Do not apply in the heat of the day or direct sunlight. Rain and near-freezing temperatures must not be likely within 24 hours after application. No hard numeric air or surface minimum/maximum or measured wood-moisture limit is specified. The 10–30°C range in the sheet is for storage. Drying and recoating times depend on conditions.
Check the air, the actual surface, overnight conditions and the full drying or curing period. The current product label takes precedence.
