However, protect all water-based products from freezing. If this material is frozen, do not stir it until it has completely thawed. 2. Provide for heated storage on site and deliver materials at least 24 hours before tilework begins. 3. Protect from water until the adhesive has reached its final set, typically from 24 to 48 hours.
