Last fall I bought some urethane primer with mid-range activator thinking by the time I got to spraying temps would be in the 70's here in Florida.
As happens, life gets in the way and I'm just now about ready to spray, temps are now in the 90's.
Will there be an issue using the mid-range 70-80* activator or should I just bite the bullet and got the high temp activator?
 
If you paint earlier in the day when its cooler your likely not gonna have any issues. I rarely use high temp
 
Pretty sure you would want a "slow activator" for hot sunny pays. I would bite the bullet and get the proper activator for the job, paint is so damn expensive and time is not cheap.

I think that's gonna be my plan for this primer spray. It's 10:45 and 84* here.

This is just the sealer & primer, I'll do it early in the morning.
When I get the paint & clear I'll get the higher temp activator.
