Quick question regarding temperature. There's a note on the Chestnut Acrylic bottles not to use below 15deg ambient but nothing on the Melamine. I'm presuming this is the difference between water/solvent based for drying times.

But what temperature is everyone's workshops where you're applying melamine? I'm think I might be trying to apply whilst a little cold (14 deg yesterday) which is adding to my catching. along with too much lacquer and a currently inexperienced technique.
