Random question here that hopefully doesn’t land me in the noob category. This just crossed my mind. I’m expecting a delivery in the mail (an outdoor mailbox) and live in a location that gets very cold this time of year. If I have a few packages bottles of gear sitting in a very cold mailbox for a few days, will the cold temps compromise the gear in any way or is this nothing to worry about?
It may come out of solution,.but a hot (not boiling) water bath should put it back into solution. I've had high-ish concentration prop crash @ ~20°F and if went back into solution w/no issues.Quote:

Like they said heat it up with hot water and you will be good.
Happens all the time where I am from.
If you heat your gear so you can use it, you might be a northern redneck!
That is so true!Quote:

FL winners can get down to the low 20's even high teens. I forgot my gear, in the car. Woke up to s slushy.
The fine folks here told me I was good to go. So.... some warm water and I was back in biz.
Best site on the internet!
Oh, on a side note - triple digit summers? I thought FL had hot summers (103ish), until I moved to KS. It gets HOT here.
