The temperature and humidity could well have caused your problem. 10C is too low for most epoxy systems. 20C is ideal and 15C is the absolute minimum in our experience. The lower the temperature, the longer the cure time. The problem then as the cure time is longer, the resin is exposed to moisture for much much longer than normal during its cure. Before it is fully cured, Epoxy is very hydroscopic so at low temperatures, where the cure time is significantly extended, the resin then can absorb a lot more moisture than it normally would, to the extent that the resin can be damaged and may not fully cure properly.
