Is it good to coat in Montgomery, AL this week?
A live 7-day go/no-go calendar for epoxy & resin floors in Montgomery, built from the local forecast against the 5°F-above-dew-point rule. We lead with the signal a weather app misses: overnight condensation risk.

Clear to coat: temps 62–72°F, RH under 67%, surface stays 7.8°F+ above the dew point, no rain in the cure window.
- High condensation risk overnight — surface dips to within -1°F of the 68°F dew point (low 66°F, 0% cloud, 4 mph wind). A fresh coat can blush/blister. Stop 4h before dew falls.
- Too hot — high of 91°F is well over the 86°F ceiling; the film skins over before it can level or adhere.

Why these thresholds
Installing within 5°F of the dew point causes amine blush / carbamation — a cloudy, greasy, hazed floor. The slab surface temp, not the air, is what counts.
- • Surface temp must stay 5°F above the dew point through application and cure (ASTM D3276 / ISO 8502-42).
- • Air + surface in the 50–86°F band (low-temp lines to 50°F).
- • Humidity under 85%; ideally under 80%.
- • No rain for 24h after application.
- • We use the forecast ground-surface temperature as a surface-temp proxy — confirm on-site with an IR thermometer.
