Can i add more catalyst in colder climates? and also in the summer can i add less than 1% catalyst?

In colder climates add no more than 4% catalyst and in warmer temperatures never add less than 1% catalyst. Either way outside of these ratios will effect the curing cycle. 

Can i paint on top of a wooden deck hatch to waterproof?

No, this is not a suitable resin, use 2 - 3 coats of an Epoxy Resin or a Marine varnish.
