      Re: Product Storage

      As far as I know, this question has never been addressed with an official statement, at least it's not in the FAQ.

      It's a great question to since many people live where temperatures range widely, let us do some work on this and at least come up with some guidelines or recommendations.

      In a nutshell, you don't want your product to freeze, so do what you have to do to prevent them from freezing, if this mean moving them into a closet in the house then that may be one option you can pursue.

      As for extreme warm temperatures we'll have to check on this to see what the ramifications are.

        I keep mine inside all year around, I am lucky enough to have a closet just inside the house from the garage so it works in my case. but like mentioned above if you can toss them in the house somewhere over the winter I would. Just my .02!

            I think that the only stipulation made officially was that products shouldn't freeze, but that seemed to be common sense anyhow.

            This is my stash, without the new tins of #16, for the winter.

              Is there any new information for the extreme heat part? How about a temperature range to store the products? One time I measured the temp in my room and it was around 42F. What can I say I like it cold when I sleep.

                  I keep mine in my bedroom closet but Ive come to the conclusion thats not a economical place at all. Takes forever to get everything outside when Im detailing and it takes up tons of room in the closet. They stay a constant temp year around though and I guess thats what Im aiming for.

                      Living in Florida it hot 9 months of the year. I keep my products out in the garage. When it gets colder I bring them inside when it gets around 40. or below. So far no problems doing it this way.
