Sure,

keeping the bottle in the fridge is not necessary, but once mixed with the hardener, and first bubbles appear due to the reaction, I have it placed in deep freeze.

The idea is that it should be warm enough to react, but chilled to prolong pot life to let the gas rise to the surface. A drop of solvent helps by reducing viscosity.

I transfer the gassed-out glue to the V-grooved joint, drop by drop and while still somewhat cool, avoiding anything that could stir the solution or introduce air. a pipette may be OK, and so is ball pointed needle.

it turns out that the solution can be stored in the deep-freeze long enough to be used for a second application on top of the first one. that takes time because each layer of cement must be given time to shrink. This is why you do not pour Acrifix into the V-groove, and need very thin layers applied by surface tension.

best to avoid your home freezer. the thinner (I sourced something other than the one sold by evonic) has a reputation for being nasty.

hope this is useful,

Thanks GR
