DIY Life

It's a fact of life-- Winter happens. And with it comes freezing weather. But that doesn't mean that your DIY projects stop. And if your current project involves caulking, on some days the freezing weather may render your tubes of caulk unusable as they "ice up", especially if you have to drive to the work site in the wee hours. But Brian Carter came up with a great solution and shared it at www.taunton.com.

Brian decided to use a metal can with no lid and store it under the hood of his truck. He put it close to the engine but not in contact with it. The tubes go in the can for incubation and by the time he gets to the work site, the warmed-up caulk is free-flowing. Left under the hood the cooling engine it stays workable for hours.
