A little dehumidifier would be helpful if you have one. I wonder in these situations if you could add more thinner to the epoxy would it not cure quicker in the daytime before the temp drops at night, build up with thinner coats as opposed to one thick.
Any problems with epoxy absorbing water?
I used to make parts using epoxy and if the humidity was to high you could
see the liquid epoxy change color or go cloudy.
thats where acid etch 2k scores. that doesnt happen its hard in minutesI once shot a coat of epoxy on a couple of small bits in the garden just to get them done, It was about 6o'clock in the evening so just starting to chill down a bit, they still were not dry next morning and the epoxy went very milky looking.

But isnt 2k porous ?

of course it will but if u paint when minimum moisture in the air and its dried in 10 mins. it wont be afected if epoxy takes longer to dry it would be ruined left in moist condition. the answer is dont spray in lousy conditionsDamp will affect any paint.

Yes but Epoxy isn't your normal 2K primer, I was told its a mixture of 2K Epoxy glue and 2K primer, Its much stickier than primer so ive no reason to doubt what i was told.
What I meant was 2k acid etch primer is porous, the idea of most people including myself is to use epoxy primer over bare metal so the metal is sealed so you can restore at leisure
In my opinion acid etch is just old fashioned these days, Epoxy is far superior in every way including the moisture resistance. Its just a much better product
shame my paint supplier doesent stock it !!, Langy is it normal for a paint supplier if asked to add the tinter to the epoxy ? I know yours does it for you but you have a regular supplier, dont want to look a muppet when i ask
By the way i have now sorted my heating problem and have a diesel truck cab heater fitted which heats the garage up nicely which i can leave running while spraying, so my heat problem is now sorted. The only problem now is the humidity which is around 85-95% i may still wait until the humidity drops abit before spraying epoxy
I have thought about one of those but i don't think they are that good in cold weather? as obviously the air that goes through the dehumidifier would have to come from outside so it doesn't clog up with overspray
