It is always preferable to store in a cool, dry place; however, the material is not damaged by frost or exposure to cold/wet conditions. It is advisable to keep the product protected from high summer temperatures. Protect packaging from punctures or piercings. Any exposure to air will start the curing process.

How long does it take for EASYJoint to go off?

Is Azpects EAZY Joint ‘British Weather Approved’?
EASYJoint Original is fine to use in rain - the wetter the better. It's air curing, so as long as you've got a hose and keep it wet whilst applying in hot weather, you're good to go.
Here’s the science behind it:
EASYJoint is a compound that is oxygen-cured. It therefore needs air to start and complete the setting process. Inclement weather conditions will not prevent the use or application of EASYJoint; it will affect the time it takes for the compound to cure and set hard. Cold conditions can increase the setting time considerably - freezing weather will cause the process to slow down, and it can take many days for the joints to set hard.
Whilst it may be slow in setting, it will eventually go hard, and the cold weather and frost will not have impaired its qualities in any way. Similarly, whilst EASYJoint is wet, either through rainfall or the application of water whilst laying it, the setting process will be suspended. Prolonged periods of rain, or several intermittent showers, may considerably extend the setting times indicated. But again, whilst it may slow the setting process, it will eventually set hard, and the rain will not have impaired its qualities in any way.
In freezing conditions, can I still use Azpects EASYJoint?
Yes, however, in freezing conditions or in falling temperatures below 3 degrees Celsius, please refer to the instructions in the data sheet.
How To Use Azpects EASY Joint
The wet application method is the preferred and most popular method of application. Follow these steps:
Thoroughly wet the area to be jointed - the wetter the better. Do not worry about water lying in the joints - it will be displaced by the EASYJoint as it is applied.
Cut open the vacuum-packed bag and sprinkle about half the contents over the area to be jointed. If you find any soft lumps of compound in the bag, simply break them down using the broom. Hardened product should be discarded. It is recommended to soak the compound at this stage. Using a soft brush or squeegee, push the EASYJoint into the joints, ensuring they are filled with the material.
Flush the compound into the joints with water using a hose on a spray setting. This compacts the compound into the joint, ensuring the gap is completely filled. It also aids in cleaning the surface.
Top up any sagging joints with more EASYJoint. Re-flush with water, as before.
Repeat until the whole paving area is complete.
To finish off, again gently spray the paving as a final compacting and cleaning process.
Allow all the water to drain away and the paving to dry out.
For a smoother finish to the joint, once the paving is dry, “point” the joint with a suitable jointing iron or trowel.
There is no need to protect treated joints from rain or frost whilst setting, although the presence of rain will delay the setting process. EASYJoint only cures when it is dry - therefore, rain will slow down the process. If heavy rain has occurred when the joints have been pointed, then it may be necessary to revisit the job once the weather has cleared to touch up any damaged joints.
Any residue left on the surface when cured can be simply cleaned off by sweeping with a stiff brush diagonally to the joint.
Please note, whilst this is the preferred method of application, it should not be used when ground temperatures are at or below zero ºC. Use the dry method within the technical data sheet if this is the case.
