James and All ,
 Very good post Jim.
 You understand the dealing with any acids.
 The 80% part has more to do with it in a liquid state than anything else.
62F can be a problem in any Northern states like me in Washington.
If you have frame rest , just remove them and put in new ones when your done.
Jim has addressed the problem with dealing with all acids. It should be taught in HS Chemistry classes. 
 I have not had my box's analyzed to make sure everything is dead. But my knowledge of chemistry and knowing that two weeks is a long time to have the vapor present   , chances are that the box's are clean of Nosema.
The Best 
Roy
