Ace-Garageguy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) At 50-60C, the plastic distorts and the kit becomes unusable That is hotter than an attic 50 deg. C is only 120 deg.F. That's as hot as my shower. Any decent kit plastic is stable at higher temperatures. A car interior can easily exceed 140 deg. F, as can an attic.

Harry P. Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I can imagine some sealed kits are just boxes of spruce! That has to really burn you when you specifically wanted a box of cedar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
