Hi,
I'm finishing my basement and will have to permanently move my collection of paint, joint compound etc, from (the climate controlled) basement storage into the unheated stand-alone garage. To give an idea of amount, it's currently stored on a very full 3ft wide x 5ft tall bookshelf in the basement. I'll certainly get rid of the junk, but most is useful.

What do folks typically do to keep their paint and equipment from freezing in an unheated garage... without risking starting a fire?

Thanks
Theodore


You've got at least 4 choices:

1. Move to a warmer climate.
2. Heat the garage.
3. Leave the paint where it is.
4. Dispose of the paint.

Of course there are other choices, one of which may involve inserting
the paint into one of your orifices. That would definitely prevent it
from freezing.


Since the OP wants zero risk of fire, we can't
mention electric heat of any form. Not even
light bulbs.
