Tired of Body Filler Hardening Too Quickly?

Agreed. Its a catalyzing process. I'm not sure how much ambient temp plays into it.
A bunch, and the temp of the metal its applied to, and humidity.
I really do not have that problem here, but I will do most of the body work on my own cars over the winter, in the garage where I can control the temp, and the humidity is low.
I even use a infera-red gun to test the metal and material going on, I like to keep both at 70 degrees. This includes primer and paint.
