Default Storing Resin

I haven't had much luck storing polyester more than 6 or 8 months. The
stuff I have had will start to polymerize on its own after that.

Autumn has definately arrived here along with colder temperatures. I
have a couple of gallons of polyester resin that I'd rather not move
into the house. It's in a plastic pail right now and the "scent" tends
to spread. I've tried putting the pail into a garbage bag but can
still smell it.

Would it be harmed if I just left it in the shed and the temperature
falls well below freezing? I'm hoping for enough nice days to finish
my hull but can't count on it.
