Epoxy Froze in Storage Unit

« on: June 08, 2007, 07:17:49 AM »

Just wondering: I know for a fact that both parts of my Conserv 200 patching material froze over the winter because I had it in an unheated storage unit. PA winter. Right on the label it says don’t let it freeze, which I did. Being cheap, I’m not going to throw it out if I don’t have to. I did a couple of test patches and they seem to have cured nice and normal and to look at it, there doesn’t seem to be a problem. It seems to look and feel and bond like it should. Is this a problem? Should I be concerned about performance in spite of the normal appearance? Thanks for answering my question.

pswoodman,
Freezing of A & B is a problem. Yes I would be concerned about performance. ConServ Epoxy LLC would recommend you don't use this on any project. You may choose to combine A & B or A,B,C&D, after A has been gently heated to decrystalize. If you get a cure this will make the components inert. If the C & D dry components are not used, they can be saved for future use. Another option is to recycle A & B at your local Haz-Mat location.
