Just realized my stubbornness about a cold joint cost me half a day

Everyone says you can work a cold joint for up to 90 minutes, but I pushed it to 2 hours on a garage slab in July heat. The surface was already set like rock, and I spent 4 extra hours grinding and patching to make it right. Has anyone else had a cold joint go bad way faster than the usual advice?

That July sun cooks everything twice as fast.

Notice how it even changes the air itself. It gets thick and heavy, like you're walking through hot soup. Makes me wonder if that's why everything feels slower in July, not just the cooking.

So that 90-minute rule, what's the hottest day you've ever tried to beat it?
