One the problems I am working around right now is that I bought the cold weather CPES back in February for my stringers. This morning it was already 80 at 8am- too high for the cold weather formula. So I have been keeping the CPES in the fridge and apply it first thing in the morning. Seems to work well. WHat I found using the cold weather at higher temps is that the solvents evaporate quickly and leave a sticky finish. Keeping the stuff cold has eliminated that problem. It still has time to soak in before it evaporates.

I hope this trick will help some other members out.
