polyester resin and cold

[drise]

Well, looks like the weather here is going to get cold. Does PR freeze? Do cold temps do any thing to the resin or would it be better to bring it in the house. I have it in an unheated shed right now.

Thanks

I really don't know if PR can withstand actual freezing, but the label on my current tin just says to 'Store out of direct sunlight and keep cool'

The place I buy from stores all their tins in an unheated steel shipping container.
I think I remember something about epoxy not to get near frost....but I don't use it anymore.

I was at the manufactures website, and they do not warrant their product if frozen (0 deg C or 32 deg F). Molecularity of the product changes when frozen. Best to keep any Resin above 40 Deg F.
