Product Ordering & Storage in cold weather

**LegacyGT** · 11-05-2010, 08:23 AM

Today we finally are getting down to the 20's at night so I pulled in all of my detailing products from the garage so they don't freeze. I don't have a spot for my gallon of APC+ right now so I hope it has a low freezing point.

After bringing in my supplies from the garage I got to wondering if this means my ordering for products is over until spring when I can guarantee that any products that are shipped will stay above freezing. What do other people do that experience cold winter climates?

Hopefully my Skull Candy gets here in good shape.

I typically bring all my products inside in the winter and put them in a closet. I personally don't usually order products over the winter, so I don't have to worry about freezing or anything. I would say that most items will be fine during shipping as long as they are not stored for long periods.

I've never brought any of my stuff in from the garage, and it all seems to do just fine. I figure as long as it reconstitutes with some shaking, I'm in good shape.

I've lost products due to freezing and bring them in this time of year.

I'm not too concerned with the outdoor temps because my garage retains some of the days heat and remains above freezing until the outdoor temp stays below 32F during the day.

I have a place I store all my stuff in the basement where it's a cozy 60 degrees so they're just fine there. When I need something I just take those product out to the garage, where the wood-stove is going, and I'm all set. I use a 5 gallon plastic pail to transport the things I need and this works well for me.

My garage retains some heat, but when we start to get into the -10 to -20 range, there is no chance in it being above freezing.

I'm right there with you, bring it in. Always error on the side of caution or risk throwing out allot of expensive product.

When I don't heat my garage it still stays above freezing at night. The last few nights it was down in the 20s, right now its 37° but yet its still 55° in the garage. Yesterday we had a high of only 50° and the day before that it didn't get out of the 40s. Of course the garage is insulated. I can't wait for spring to come.
