I'll make sure to clean the surfaces thoroughly before reattaching and let it cure overnight at work.

However, I'm struggling to find anything about recommended minimum ambient temperature for the adhesive to work properly.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm going to re-attach my aero side skirts with new 3M automotive molding tape (03609), as the tape I got from my local shop turned out to be sh*te. However, I'm struggling to find anything about recommended minimum ambient temperature for the adhesive to work properly. The daytime temperature here right now is varying from 4-12 degrees C, with closer to 0 at night. Should I wait for a few more weeks until the temperature is more stable?

POST 2Original post

Used this tape when I was in the bus building industry. Ambient temperature of 20 deg C OK. The absolutely critical piece of advice is to scrupulously clean the surfaces with a proprietary cleaner such as 3M cleaner - see attached info sheet. It is the difference between long-term adhesion and the part falling off over time.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! As I suspected... I'll make sure to clean the surfaces thoroughly before reattaching and let it cure overnight at work.
