  • Too hot — high of 93°F is well over the 86°F ceiling; the film skins over before it can level or adhere.

Hold off. These are forecast numbers — confirm the surface temperature on-site before you start.

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.
