Dog days of summer are here in a big way. How hot must it get before model kits and their decal sheets sustain damage and/or warping due to excessive heat for kits stored in garages, attics, storage facilities etc.....?

Wow, feeling the heat in the Hoosier state, too? I think your kits will be fine, no matter where you store them. The decals however, are another story. If you are going to store kits in a hot attic or damp basement I would suggest taking the decals and filing them somewhere with a stable heat and humidity, be it summer or winter. I am getting ready to move my stash to the attic and it is really hot up there. Going to take out the decals before they go upstairs.

The ambient temp guage in my Blazer read 103 while driving around Franklin this afternoon!

I always store my decals filed away and labeled ... just in case.

I do the same due to the humidity we get in brisbane and also to keep out the cockroaches and silverfish -I spray every 12 mths but still have a lost a few sheets

Today was killer, (Monday) it reached 92 on the highest

This is the way I take care of my decals and I never had a problem since. You Knoe those desiccant silica gel packs you get in cloths and shoes, they also come in just about most thing now. Anyhow I'll put my decals in a zip-lock baggie and throw in one or two of the gel packs. I was lucky as my sons girlfriend once worked in a clothing store and brought me a large bag full. They really do cut down the humidity and moisture. I say give'em a try...
