Default cold weather

I talked to a tech who only brought his resins indoors out of the cold. The problem with that is that his metal injectors and bridges remained ice cold out in his trunk, and the seals were so cold they lost a lot of their flexibility too. When I mentioned this to him, he said he didnt think it mattered much. Oh, well. I still think it matters a whole lot. I park in the garage whenever possible, and when I can't (it doubles for hubby's hobby shop) ... I bring my equipment in at least, since by the end of the day it is ready for maintenance anyway, so that is no big deal. Ever try to unfold an ice cold UV screen? (yes, even in the winter in the southwest, I still use the screen). An ounce of prevention is worh a pound of cure, they say... the slight inconvenience of unloading and re-loading is nothing compared to equipment failure. Better safe than sorry.
