   What are you gluing?  What kind of glue are you using?  Why don't you believe the maunfacturer? - lol

   Dave45,

   I'm gluing pvc utility pipe and attempting to finish it so the trench can be covered before spring thaw.  I have already found the ditch falls into itself already and I still have 300 feet to finish.  Was just wondering if the carlon would cure lower than 40 degrees.

   Thanks.

   It would seem like a hairdryer directed in one end, even some distance away, would warm it sufficiently.

   Thank you, Forrest.  I will try that for sure.

   I hate to have the 300 foot trench fall in before I get the utililty pipe in and completed.  Although Winter is here in New England and I am a little short on time.

   If the " utility pipe " that you refer to is electrical conduit, use " All Weather PVC cement".

   I buy it at the electrical wholesaler here where I buy the conduit.

   It has always seemed to work OK in the winter for me.
