Permatex Ultra Copper will work fine. It will just cure slower~ John - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

I posed the curing question to the manufacturer of Permatex Ultra Copper and their technical reply was that yes you can apply it at temperatures between 20 and 30F though the ideal temperature is between 50 and 80F. Silicones such as Permatex are chemically cured so temperatures above and below these ranges remove that element. Curing occurs in 24 hours. If you are able to warm surfaces to at least the 40 to 50F range that will help for better bonding across the surfaces.
OTOH just building a fire in your egg to try to speed the curing up does NOT help - it needs the 24 hours to cure.

Thank you! Would a round or two using the cold smoking gadget be a good idea? 2 loads of that would be about 24 hours.....
