Frozen PVA

[mattcat]

Anyone had comeback from using PVA thats been frozen. All the stuff in my van froze, so I went to DIY to get some and all of theirs was frozen solid too (20 tubs), so had to go with it. Just wondered if it is knackered after freezing as I have a few tubs left.

Yes mate it's totally knackered once frozen,
it'll thaw out & look fine but the molecules are all f**k*d
so everything will seem fine until a week later when customer phones & says that reskim you did just fell on the floor when I painted it with a roller!!!!

To be honest I'm not sure if it does affect it!
I've used it before & used some last week it thaws out ok & seems fine.
But water based paints are f**k*d once the frost gets them & pva is water based.
So who knows!!

I used some as well before xmas and it was ok. Waited to see if it went tacky and it did so went ahead.

I keep 2 gallon in the cab of the van in winter so if it does freeze over night after the drive to work with the heating on it will thaw out. (Well at least a bit).

just found this on a woodworking site "If PVA is let to freeze, it will not be good anymore. It may seem to work, but the bond will not be strong. With white glue, if the glue has frozen and then thawed, it will dry a white cloudy color instead of clear. If you are not sure if your glue has been previously frozen, test it first. If it dries white instead of clear, then discard the glue." :-\

i was mixing mine with warm water last week.
