mysterymachine Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I had to keep my collection in a hot storage unit for one year. I live in the desert, so the inside temperature of the storage unit probably reached 115 degrees during the summer. Other than the bags sticking together, the books looked fine. I'm much more concerned about humidity than heat. KirbyTown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a problem in England, dampness and cold, or the recent very humid heatwave. mysterymachine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even over here in arid Australia, it's unexpected flooding which I've found is the biggest risk. You can leave your PC safely gathering dust in a storeroom for 10 years but then a freak storm can see water somehow get into the area and wreak havoc. As a kid I lived in the outback where it got very hot but the bottom of my wardrobe was always a fairly cool spot for my comics to live.

So far, perhaps I’ve been lucky, but flooding has become a worsening complication here as well thanks to global warming.

I keep my comic room air conditioned while I'm sweating in the living room. I can't chill in the air conditioned comic room unless I'm reading or organizing cause i smoke and the comic room is a no smoking room...door stays closed 100% of the time. So yeah...im sweating my butt off while my comics stay cool. MattrixAlien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
