I'm toying with the idea of finally setting up a permanent painting station at home and unfortunately the only space where I can do this is the very large cupboard/room where our boiler is. The room doesn't get too hot, but it is definitely a little warmer than the rest of the rooms. What is the maximum temperature that I can keep the paints at without risking them drying out too much? Yes, I know that all paints will dry out eventually, but a sensible maximum would really help. I'm using Citadel paints (all types) and Vallejo Model Air if it makes a difference.

Thanks.

I kept my paints (GW) in a garage for several months, the temps easily hit 90+ degrees regularly. They were beginning to dry out, but that was after about 4 months. A little bit of stirring and some water revived them.

Thank you. That's quite helpful actually. I don't think the room gets over 90, so I should be ok.
