Liquid Roof and Liquid Rubber can be applied under high humidity conditions as long as the surface is dry and its temperature is above the dew point. The solvent evaporation is governed by temperature only and is not influenced by relative humidity. If the temperature drops below freezing after Liquid Roof or Liquid Rubber have been applied no damage will result. The rubber will slowly stiffen as the solvent evaporates and begin to cure when the temperature exceeds 55 F. The ultimate physical properties of the rubber membrane will always be the same regardless of the length of time needed to reach the full cure stage.
