Thread: How "cool" is cool for gunpowder storage.

I am cognisant of the fact that many garages (mine included) warm up quite considerably during the day and wonder what the actual temperature is when cool changes to warm as well as what the safety limit is for gunpowder, including Black Powder .

Anybody aware of a specific temperature as opposed to the weasel Lawyer words "Cool"?

It’s that an old or a new Gnash idiot rule? I keep mine under the bed with my bank notes?
