Discussion How does SN handle heat?

[Suicideorgy]

So I am living in a hot climate, 120f isnt unusual here. I cant keep the sn in the fridge. Humidity isnt a thing here, ever. Its just a salt, mineral, crystal structure so it should be fine. Not like its gonna melt right?

I plan on buying it but not using it for a couple months.

The recommended storage temperature is 15-25 degrees celsius.

I've been keeping mine it in a travel bag these past 2 years but temperatures sometimes go as high as 40 + degrees celsius here and I can't really put it in the fridge either... Am I f**ed ?

Why don´t you have a fridge ?

I do but it would be too humid and cold.

I am living with family, putting weird shit like sn in the fridge would be questioned or they would google what it is.

Just keep it in a cool dry area like a cupboard. The fridge is not a good idea as moisture might build up and destroy the sn. You can also wrap it in tin foil to repel any heat etc

Right now my only hiding place is in the shed. No ac in the shed and temperatures are up to 120f+

Interesting, I'm probably an idiot but this is the first time I'm hearing about wrapping stuff in tin foil to keep heat out. Doesn't metal usually conduct heat?

yep.
but if you build your sn a nice little tin house, the air is cooled down to therefore cools sn and the tin foil draws the heat out of the air, making a ice little igloo.

but you must make a tent or house, not a burrito.
