Default depends a lot on humidity

in CO, it'll still be done in around an hour. In NY or somewhere I'd give it an extra 1/2 hour.

Default 50F is about the lower limits for me.

Beyond that I've never tried. I think Chup is pretty much spot on with his estimate. If it takes any longer than it takes me at 50F, forget it, it's not getting a coat!

Default I did 3 coats of ZFX/Z2 today, outside temp was ~42F..

I used a PC to apply, the ZFX/Z2 dried a little after I finished applying. Just be sure to apply a very thin coat if you are applying by hand. Also get some ZFX, it'll speed up the drying process and allow you to put multiple coats on per day.
