    hi guys i need some help and advice , i may need to put some of my electronic stuff in Storage due to a situation. I think my stuff could be damaged like cold solder joints , general corrosion etc.......

    am i being paranoid or this will happen ?. It is summer here at the moment btw.........Maybe there's some packing techniques to stop this from happening.

    chat soon

    Find temperature controlled storage. No way around it. Probably packing should deal with the moisture issue, but not extreme heat or cold.

    You'd have to ask the company you're thinking to use. It really depends on the environment.

    My storage place is dry and mouse-free, but it is on the top floor and gets REALLY hot in summer. They also had some issues with the roof leaking, and the unit next to mine was affected.... plus I have pipes on the ceiling in mine.

    If you're thinking of using a garage... forget it. You'll get damp, you'll get mice.
