Hi Charles.
Yeah, I remember you mentioning it in passing now.

Thanks for the precision.
Indeed, moldmaking in an excess of cold is bad for plaster, latex, and many 
other materials, which just won't react as needed. Same for some varnishes, 
so I don't take the chance anymore, and avoid using them in the winter if 
they are toxic.
Plaster and latex are the rare exceptions I sometimes use in winter, if a 
contract rides on it. Plaster dusts can be controlled. Latex fumes can be 
evacuated with a powerful enough fan, and the use of a mask is a great 
precaution.

I don't know what Jelutong is, so I guess I wasn't the one asking about it.
But now I'm curious of course.
