This winter is predicted to get really cold, my workshop is a loglap cabin, well insulated with heat/cold proof protected plaster board and insulation lining; I pulled out all the stops to keep my workshop warm and weather proof.
I'd done well, until this November temperatures have dropped and the glazes which are in air tight plastic tubs are covered in condensation and tiny ice particles are showing in the liquid!
Weather proofing has begun!
I've brought some plastic storage boxes
and to make the contents safe from the weather I'm lining them with
insulation roll; it’s actually used for insulating attics, it keeps cool in
summer and warm in winter.
I used 'ThermaWrap Loft Insulation' and Clear Packaging tape from Screwfix.
First I did the easiest part as it involved less cutting, The lid was easy only using one large piece, making sure that once stuck the lid still fit securely on the box.
I lined the three largest sides with one long piece; then I taped around every edge with clear packing tape to seal each edge and attach in place.
Next I cut out the two end pieces, overlapping the sides by an inch so there was no box showing; they also got taped into place.
Heat / Cold / Damp proof storage box finished! Just another 5 to go!
How do you protect your materials in the warm summer/cold winter months? I'd love to hear your ideas!
