It seems that the weather has decided to change quite rapidly this fall. Within 2 weeks, it went from 80+ degrees to barely getting up to 65. This brings me to reminding everyone to winterize your pumps now. If you wait until it freezes, you will be too late. From this time on, you should clean your rigs completely and store them with pump saver, antifreeze or make sure that they are completely dry with no hoses or guns attached. Prime valves should be left open also. Make sure that the siphon tube or hose is clean and empty. All machinery should be stored inside. The back of your truck, even in a camper shell, does not constitute indoors.
Remember that temperature also affects how your material dries, cures and adheres. Or Not. Even indoors, if the temperature isn’t regulated, your material can and will fail. Flat is more forgiving than enamel, but will still fail to adhere. Humidity will also cause problems. Take all of this into consideration before starting the days work and schedule your workmen accordingly.
