Hi all, newcommer here.  At the moment I am storing my resins ETC in my bedroom which I know is not ideal and would prefier to keep them in the workshop, the problem is that the workshop (insulated shed) can get very cold as I don't use it some weeks, I've seen the temp get as low as 3c in the cold spells we have been having and this can make resin etc go off.
I am considering making somekind of heated cabonet to store the resin in, perhaps a cupboard lined with 50mm Kingspan insulation.  Some form of small heating element and thermerstat to keep the tempreture of the cabonet above +15c to stop my expensive resins etc from perishing.  My fear is however is causing a fire, I know heat and flamable resins don't go togeather, especially if the thermerstat was to break and cause it to overheat.  so anyone have any tips on making a resin storage cabonet which will keep my resins at the correct storage temp and be safe?  Many thanks, lee.

Isn't that a bit extreme to make a heated place just for your resins? I just store them in my garage. 
It's quite cold there, especialy now in the winter, but never had problems with the resins...
Constantly heating your resins would cost more than just buy a new batch of resin I think :p
And I couldn't live with the idea of having something constantly heating, with danger of fire at any time...
Couldnt you just make a box in insolation foam or store it in a foam box or something?
