Default frozen glue

hmmmm. In that case, I hope it has stayed frozen the last 2 weeks (which
seems pretty likely, considering what the temps have been here in CT
lately).

I'll definitely follow up with a report of how I fair.

I think I have a few cans of waterbased poly and other waterbased finishes
that I'm going to have to toss out. Great.

Mike, I believe their tech support said the glue was useful for 5 freeze
cycles, so once you DO get it thawed out, give it a try and let us know
how it works.

The short time I spent in the garage tonight has led me to several posts
(see previous two posted just previously).

As I stated in one of those posts, the garage/shop was about 22 degrees

F
when I went out there before turning on the heat. Needless to say, I

found
that the glue was frozen just about solid. I checked about 5 bottles,

from
half-empty quarts, full quarts, and even a full gallon bottle. These

were
either original titebond, titebond II or titebond II extend.

I know the label says that if the glue is frozen it won't affect it's
ability to work, but how long does it take to thaw it out? I got the

shop
up to about 70 degrees and put a few of the bottles of glue about 1-2

feet
from the 80,000 BTU propane heater, which was on full blast. I was out
there about 3 hours and none of the bottles seemed to thaw out at all.

I hope I haven't ruined a lot of money's worth of glue (I have probably

5-10
more bottles of it).
