- High condensation risk overnight — surface dips to within -6.8°F of the 61°F dew point (low 54°F, 10% cloud, 3 mph wind). A fresh coat can blush/blister. Stop 4h before dew falls.
- Hot afternoon (88°F, ceiling 86°F) — coat early and follow the shade.
- High humidity (90%, over the 85% mark) slows drying — keep an eye on the cure window.

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.
