"Dumb" question, what effect IF any. . .

I don't think short-term freezing weather would have much negative impact on solvent-based paints. I don't normally use acrylics but I suspect that, due to the fact they are water-based, they may well be a different story.

no bad effect for a little while, (few days) acrylic depends on the stregth of the bottle.

Thanks, I don't use acrylics (at least yet) so that isn't a problem.

I don't think short-term exposure will hurt the glue either.

Cheers...Bill

Still does. Super Glue, Krazy Glue, CA, whatever you want to call it doesn't like cold either.

I had bought a couple bottles of acrylics, Tamiya and MM, and inadvertantly left them in my car for about a week. There was a lot of pigment/carrier seperation, and, like Humpty Dumpty, all the Kings horses and all the Kings men, and a lot of stirring and mixing, couldn't put them together again.

Cold, probably not. Cool, yes. I keep mine in the basement and it seems to last a long time. The brand I have right now was expensive but it's lasted twice as long as any I've used before. No, I don't remember...(sigh).
