First time I've used PC Woddy before, how long will it take to dry in this cold weather?

Yes and instructions clearly state it will take longer to get hard and won't be as easy to work with in colder temperatures.

The only instructions I had on the can were, combine equal amounts pretty much

Mixing Tips
In cold or cool temperatures, place PC-Woody® containers near heat prior to using. Like peanut butter, PC-Woody® mixes and spreads easier at 80°F than at 40°F. Any smooth flat surface is excellent for mixing and working from. A small putty knife or flexible artist's spatula is an excellent tool for both mixing and applying PC-Woody wood fillers ®.

Directions
Using separate knives (remove amount needed from cans), mix equal parts of A (off-white) and B (lt. brown) on flat surface until uniform tan color. Mixing for a long period of time will reassure better performance. At 70°F PC-Woody® will remain workable for over ½ hour and cures for service overnight. Full cure achieved in one week. Cure will take longer at low temperatures. Speed cure with artificial heat. Denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner is excellent for cleaning surfaces and for smoothing and molding epoxy prior to cure. For best results, allow 15 to 20 minutes of standing time after mixing before shaping and molding.

Ok next question, what grit sandpaper do I use once it has hardened?  

One of the corners on my IJ cabinet had quite a bit of wood missing so I tried to build up the corner with the PC Woddy, just curious what grit I'll need to sand it back level.

Sand it the same as wood. And if you see a sticky residue on your sandpaper as you sand, it is not 100% dry yet. It all depends on the thickness of PCW you put on.

Yup...  If the gouge is really deep the best way is to apply whatever filler you're using in layers to avoid excessive drying times.

hmmmmm, I laid it on pretty thick, maybe I should give it 72 hours, I was missing quite a bit of the corner.  

I've already sanded the cabinet down with a 150 grit, I started with 60, so should I start with 60 on the pcwoody and work my way back up to 150?
