I've been using the melamine for the past couple of months Greg and never gave temperature a thought. It's worked every time for me at cool temperatures. Try putting it on with the lathe switched off, turning the blank by hand as you apply it. When the melamine starts to 'grab' then burnish it. Hope that makes sense. It's a pity you weren't nearer north wales or I'd nip round and show you.
