keeping glue in your car

Thanks for the suggestions about keeping a small ice box or cooler in the
car to store glue.  This will probably work fine if the temperature is no
lower than 30.

 I once saw at the arboretum the way they kept blossoms from freezing.  They
used a sprinkler to spray a fine mist on the blossoms as the temperature
dropped below freezing.  Something about the very act of ice making created
enough heat to protect them - even under all the ice that formed.  Strange
thing, this property of thermal dynamics.

So I was wondering about anti-freeze.  The same stuff in my car keeps the
engine from overheating in the summer, and freezing up in the winter.  If I
were to surround a container containing my glue in a container full of
anti-freeze, would this prevent the glue from cooking in the summer and
freezing in the winter?  Would it help to pack the glue bottles in
styromfoam inside this container?

So just how stupid is this idea?
