Default Storing Resin

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.

I've actually had a can of Canaidan Tire polyester resin sit in the
back of my fridge for 20+ years and then used it all up before buying
another can. I'd keep the resin aritight and cool. Wrap a wire tie
around the plastic bag and maby suck the air out of it for good
measure. I've heard that if it crystalizes it can be heated and used.
