A little chuckle to start your day:
Read on the side of a tube of DAP Silicone,
“For Best Results: Caulk in temperatures between -35ºF and 140ºF”
These are instructions I think I can follow . . .

In my earliest days of carpentry, in Indiana and Ohio, I saw days that were 65 below.
I'm sure that on the roofs of some buildings in the desert, when the temp outside is 109 or above, you'll probably find temps in excess of 140.
Still in all. I am positive that I would have no problem whatsover in following those instructions myself. I pity those who are fool enough to work in those conditions.

>> In my earliest days of carpentry, in Indiana and Ohio, I saw days that were 65 below.
Please excuse my skepticism, but that sounds more like a wind chill number to me. I lived in Montana for 9 years and never heard anybody report -65.
Unless this was back before the glaciers receded and Lake Michigan started filling up.
Lake Michigan only finaly started filling up because I chased all the dinosaurs away. Before that, them big lummoxes were always drinking all the water.
Wind chill it was. I bow to the cold facts police. hehehe
But one winter, it did get down to nearly the 35 below that the caulk tube said not to go below.Don't bogart the Ghost
