Hi everyone. I really hate coming in just to ask questions, and I apologize for not contributing much. Been working like crazy, locally and wherever they send me. I recently did a job on a big boat in Ocean City, MD, and unfortunately the job got damaged when the boat got smashed into the dock. I've never installed vinyl in cool / cold weather, only hot and hotter weather. Is this something that can be done now, as in this week or the next, or do I have to wait until the weather warms up next year? I don't want to fly up there again to waste this guy's money & time. Thanks! Felix

No Biggie. Here's what you do, wipe it down with RapidTac Rapid Prep. Then wipe off any excess moisture with tissue paper. Put down your vinyl as usual. Hit it with a heat gun or a propane torch lightly. Just wave it over it a bit. The heat makes the adhesive wake up a bit and then stick real good.
