Re: panel adhesive in colder weather ?
We apply more adhesives of various varieties in a day than any body shop does in a year. While I agree they are strong all it takes is moisture infiltration to start a rapidly decaying installation. It doesn't have to get into the joint. If it gets corrosion next to the joint it will creep under. On safety components I'd not risk it.

Follow the TDS always...including application and dry temps. Chemical reactions have a "window" that determines dry times. Cooler temps retard dry times and may affect full cure...just like welding with low voltage...bound to fail.
