When it is cold it takes forever to cure.
I repaired a partly rotten window and primed it when it was about 15 degrees Celsius.
Temps went down to 5 overnight and back up to 12 the next days. It was still tacky one week in.
It should have been dry enough for sanding within a day at 20 degrees...

The rot filler compound should have cured within 3 minutes. Thankfully it took longer. Sadly I had to push it back into shape every our or so for the rest of the evening. But I could sand it the next day.

Compound filler and paint aint silicone - but I'd give it lots of time if it stays cold like that.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
