Thread: Temperature Question

  1. #1

    Temperature Question

    So I know not to leave epoxy boards in a hot car in the summer...but how about overnight in a cold car? I have a baked potato in RF and was wondering it would cause any damage.

    Once you freeze a baked potato, they never taste as good defrosted.

    The issue with the heat is the air in the foam expanding and with nowhere to go it can lead to a delam. The cold shouldn't cause any damage. Iggy has put his through their paces in sub 0 temps in Canada.

    yeah freeze away. I have stored boards outside in Maine plenty of times when the temps dip far below freezing. A ok.

    Obviously extreme temperatures are best if they can be avoided, but the cold won't stress it as much as heat.
