Anybody know of any type of caulking that will cure in cold weather (ie: below 5C/40F)???
Temperatures around here haven't been warm. Lately, it's been falling below 0C at night and it's been raining a lot. I've got a few nice clear days ahead and need to caulk some leaks on my vinyl shed. Standard (5C+) caulkings have not been curing. Any ideas???
Thanks!

There are many petroleum based caulkings out there which cure by evaporation of the solvent. Freezing temperatures will not adversely affect them. Just don't by anything that says latex, and look on the label to see if its petroleum based (clean up with mineral spirits).
