We have similar issues up here on the north coast in the winter. Emulsion doesn't ship for 3 months or so sometimes.

Frog, thanks for the post, you just saved me a ton of money.
I get T shirts shipped from India and I was going to get plastisols shipped as well.
This post made me realize that I'm looking for trouble, I did't think of the the problems I might have with overheated containers.
Thanks.

A did a study a number of years ago.  Put one gallon of white in my trunk in Atlanta at 8am in the morning.  At noon the air temp outside was 95F.  The air in the enclosed trunk was 130f.  Hitting the bucket with a non-contact thermometer showed bucket temp of >150f.  Boat anchor I had.....

Rob, you sold me that gallon, didn't you?
