keeping wax in fridge

[Dr Oldz]

Some waxes actually require refrigeration. Zymol comes to mind. The enzymes actually go bad and refrigeration helps slow the process.

Tim,

It's a proven fact that cold temperatures causes shrinkage.......

Is this for real? If so. please share the proof of this fact with me.

I found the absolutely perfect environment for storage of detailing products.

A wine storage cabinet.

+1 I use the same 55 degrees, no shrinkage and no apparant degradation.

Zymol recommend to re-fridge the wax after you open it. If the temp inside the room when you keep the wax is higher than 68°, you can keep it in a fridge to prevent melting. But, I think that this works for waxes that have in composition more carnauba. I don't think the Collinite will melt if it will be keept on 77°.

I found one being thrown out on the curb last year. It was a huge 108 bottle cabinet. They threw it out because the glass in the door was broken. I dragged it home and tested it and the door was the only thing broken. I replace the glass with an insulated panel and pulled out the wine rack. It stays at 55 degrees and 65% humidity
I did have to add freon to the system after about six months. It took 3oz of r-134

That is an awesome find! When I was a kid I never got the saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure." I get it now, especially with owning a home and a business.
That is a nice size wine cabinet. The repair cost would be way cheaper than a new one. Guess whoever threw it out was upgrading.
When I started reading this thread I was thinking how a small wine fridge/cabinet would serve well for wax storage as well as my 1998 Brunellos.

In my garage I usea wine fridge to keep my waxes!
