Mapei Primer G and frost

[hillhead]

Hello folks, i had 8 bottles of primer g in the back of my van on a shelf.
Well today i went to van for a couple of bottles.
When opened they had been froze so we thawed them out but to no avail,
useless.
They had parted, water and crystals basically.
Unless someone knows how to remedy this then i'v lost 8 bottles.
I read the back and surely enough it say-- protect from frost !
Beware folks

Protect from frost coz it will freeze..lol.. but i am sure it is ok once thawed and given a good shake..

Hope so Dave but we even heated them and shook well.
I'll try again tomorrow.

Most of that type of polymer doesn't react well to frost as it separates and then it doesn't work right.
If you can get it to resemble its original form then give it a test to see how it performs, but you most likely have some junk for the bin.
Tough lesson.
I had a few gallons of admix I have had to toss over the years.
