Using new glue, I've had no problems with TB3 in temperatures applied near the bottom of their recommendations, with overnight temps dropping near, but still above, freezing. So like, I've applied it to wood when my shop was around 47° (made sure the wood was warmed up first with a space heater to probably around 60°), and then let it sit in my garage overnight when the temperatures dropped to around 35°. But I kept the temperatures up for the first hour or two. And they've all held up fine. And some of them were kind of stressed, like laminated table tops where I had to clamp the boards to meet because they weren't straight. I wouldn't recommend pushing the limits like this, but I've done it and gotten away with it. Also, make sure the glue is warm. I usually keep it in the house (72°) to avoid temperature extremes and extend its life.
