I took my special kind of stupid pill, and left the two jars of Rod Bond outside, where it was subjected to zero and sub-zero temps, in both the centigrade and Farenheit scales. For about 2 weeks. I simply forgot I left it out.
I searched using rod bond freeze, frozen rod bond, and those terms came up blank, begging the quesiton: After it unthaws, and comes back to room temp (61F) will it still be viable, or do I punt it, and buy fresh. Thanks. KD Re: FROZEN ROD BOND....

You may wish to warm it beyond 61F and get the resin back to its original smoothness.

As tom stated, warming the glue is not a bad idea.
An easy way to warm the glue is to simply put the glue in a sauce pan and let it simmer a bit to get the material up the desired temperature. Mix well and let it cool before use and you will be fine. If you do use water or other device to heat the glue and have it possible that it might get fairly warm, be sure to always looosen or remove the container lids before warming. You don't want to blow up the containers due to material expansion. Roger Re: FROZEN ROD BOND....

I've warmed mine in the microwave, stirred them up good, and gotten great results.
