    Frozen gear??!!??

    I just recieved some gear in the mail. Weve had a nasty cold snap where I live and the temp is down to -30C. Needless to say, my gear is as frozen as oil will freeze it seems. I put it in warm water with a 18g pin in the top of each jug to vent out expanding air.....am i screwed here? The test looks fine, clear and so on, but the tren looks murky'ish.....what should i do here. Never had this happen before. Thanx all,...

    No crystals max, just a little mirky. I just drew it up....the test is all good, the tren seems ok now as well. I left them to warm on the counter with a pin in them to vent. What else can i do really, just wait and see unfortunatly...alos, when i first had a look it seemed like it was solid, like a clump of oilly solids, then with a little warmth and aggitation it went back into solution easily...hmmm

    I would heat her up real good and see how it turns out.
    Tren usually looks alittle murky.

    If everything went back into solution, you should be good to go. As mentioned above some tren looks a tad murky...especially if it was processed from pellets (yes, some of the vendors do this).

    They would be usless at this point. They seem all good now that they are warmed up. No solids, no crystals....i just hope the damage wasnt done. Only one way to tell now i guess...

    There shouldn't be any damage. I've accidentally left prop out in 18° F temps and put it back into solution with no problems.

    Unlikely that anything is wrong with it, and even it gear crashes most of the time it can be fixed by heating it even.

    It sounds like you gear is just fine and does not even need to be heated up.
