Garage Storage and Room Temperature
I just starting storing my tools, paint, batteries, extra bulbs, joint
compound, electrical supplies, plumbing supplies, etc out in the garage. I moved them from the basement. The garage gets much hotter and cooler than the basement. It's nearly Winter here in the NE USA. I recently attempted to use some light spackle that was being stored there and the consistency appears changed. It seemed very dry or perhaps frozen. Is there any reason that I should not store any of these items listed at above or below normal temperatures? |

Many items will change consistency and no longer work properly when they are exposed to extremes in hot and cold. Best to check the directions on the packages to see what the storage temperature range is. You may be better off storing these kinds of things in a more consistent environment. Perhaps you could wall off a closet in your garage and insulate it. -john- -- ================================================== ================== John A.

The joint compound will not be too good if it freezes.Also do not put it
on a cold wall below 50 degrees.I have done that and it never dried right. Joe Peterson Burlington,Massachusets ( God Bless) |
