Default Unique 3m tape question

Alright, I did a quick search and couldn't find the answer to my question. I'm looking to instal my 1/4 window louvers and my mirror covers tomorrow in my garage. I took the temperature in the garage about mid afternoon and it registered a little over 65* At 10:00 at night, it registered about 56*

So, if I install everything tomorrow when it's at 65* and the temperature drops below 60* overnight, is the bond of the tape to the windows and the mirrors going to be weaker than recommended?

I installed mine in a 50 degree garage last year, and last i checked there still on. I did use the 3m adheation promoter they sell, and put a tiny space heater to the windows for about 5 min a piece though

It'll slow down the bonding.... You can speed it up with a hair dryer on low heat... Don't go over like 150 degrees... About 20 minutes will get a full cure of that stuff....

I installed my pony emblems(albeit in the wrong spot, lol), using the supplied 3M tape in about 35 degree weather. Mine are still there and have had no problems.

Try leaving your garage door to your house open a little, or a lot, for the night the heat should keep it above 50...i think
