Is it ok to mix Diafine at room temperature or do I really need to heat the water to around 85F?

Imagine you had to mix this in the field, without the ability to heat the water...

thanks

The 2 times I mixed Diafine I did it at room temp. It worked.

I'm sure its easier to mix with warmer water...

Isn't 85 room temp? It often is here. (Sarasota, FL.)

Higher temperature, faster dissolving. Not an issue worth thinking about.

I think I mixed it up in my apt last winter. So a touch below 70. Didn't have a problem.

Thank you gents. Just mixed it at room temp, well below 85F and everything appears to have dissolved.
