What temperature restrictions are there
1
The ideal placement temperature for QUIKRETE® Hydraulic Water Stop Cement is 70 ºF, but it may be placed at temperatures between 50 to 90 ºF. Below 50 ºF (but above 32 ºF), cold weather precautions must be taken to promote proper curing. These include, but are not limited to, the following: store the raw materials in a warm temperature before use, use warm (not hot) water to mix, and ensure that the mortar is protected from freezing for at least 48 hours using plastic sheeting, insulated blankets, or other means. Do not place Hydraulic Water Stop Cement if temperature is expected to go below 32 ºF within a 12 hour period. If these preventive measures cannot be taken, it would be best to wait for warmer weather.
