ok we should all know by now that storeing boards in high heat, is no good…but whatabout…storing completed boards in freezing temps? that my be hard to avoid this winter…just wondering …
I recall this being discussed in the past and the consensus was (I believe) that it’s really not a problem.
You might search the archives just to check…
Have, Per a Great Lake surfing bruddah of mine who lives in St. Paul, Minn. and stores his sleds in an old open air horse stall all winter(where it can reach -40 f in the dead of) you will only have problems if a ding has taken on water and not had sufficient time to drain and dry before the first freeze hits, because as I’m sure you are aware water expands when frozen and said expansion can cause delam just as heat expanding trapped air and gases can. Hope this is of use…Glenn
Good comment on making sure dings are dry.
As for the board itself getting cold should be no problem. I have speed cured moulded fins by alternately heating and freezing. Experiencing the extremes helps stimulate the curing process.
What happens to resin when it freezes? Is it just a bad Idea to let any resin freeze? I never let this happen, but I was wondering if it spoils the chemicals or anything. My work space is unheated in NYC, so it’s closed for the winter. Just curious…
I don’t think it’s a good idea to store it that way, but get in touch with a resin distributor for the real deal
