Topcoating in High Temps

What do you guys think about applying Sterling topcoat in temps around 100 degrees. Is it good, bad or horrible.

I don't know Paul, I've never tried it. I've been painting with Easypoxy this week in over 100 temps with no problem. roll and tip though, not spray. Can you paint it at night?

I do not know the exact the temp., but I have rolled/tipped in the summer with no problem. It would have been 90 degrees at least. It probably not ideal, i would at least keep the paint cool prior to application

Thanks for the input guys. This morning I went out to the barn to check on some fairing I did last night and it occured to me that morning is the best time to do it. Just get up about 5 and get after it. There's no wind, bugs, or much heat--about 65 this morning.
