Melanie and Laura, my lovely lesbians whose house I'm taking care of,
did a significant remodel using me before they left for a deployment.
Now the paint that was in perfect condition when I finished up for them
2 months ago is in the garage of the house that is now rented out and
we're looking at our first freezing temps here on the rio grande.

Simple question: what temperatures ruin latex and over what horizon.

Two months old? It can go to at least 40 below zero, probably more.

Lesbians in the military? That opens up a lot of humor.

Latex paint cans always say to keep from freezing. I would
guess that the consequences of it freezing would vary depending on the
exact paint formulation and how hard it
freezes.

If it's inside a garage of a house, it will take sustained temps
well below freezing outside before it will freeze inside. If it's
stored well inside the garage, close to heated part of the house, it
can probably go down to 20F or less without freezing
the paint. However, since it's a few cans of paint, if there is
any chance of it getting that cold, why not just put it somewhere safe?

I question "lovely". In my opinion, such ladies in real life do not
look like those on the Howard Stern Show

Agreed- why take chances? Make sure cans are well sealed and still
liquid (IOW, shake them), and nicely ask current tenants if there is a
spot inside they could be stashed. Present it as 'in case I ever need to
do a wall repair, having the exact paint right here will make the repair
go faster and easier, and not look like a patch'. If they have no safe
place, take it home with you, and mark what address it belongs to.

I'm still using 5 YO leftover exterior latex, for spot repairs on my
**** siding, and it works fine and covers well. I keep it in the heated
basement, well off the floor so cans don't rust.

After reading trader4's response, I see the question properly. I
thought you were talking about recently applied paint, not leftovers
in cans. I'd put it in a warmer place.

Yes, not to be facetious this time, latex paint is an emulsion and
freezing will often break down an emulsion.

Keep the paint buckets out of the river.

These babes are so ****ing hot that I needed to build them a shower just
to cool off. They took me with them to hot yoga, and for a tip, gave me
a gift certificate for 2 more sessions: it straightens out all that ****
in your back, and howard stern can only dream about building a
relationship of trust with a pair of great gals.

I'll let my ladies know that it'll be better if I keep their paint here.

Would it have been better if I didn't mention the rather dramatic sexual
tension?
