suitable "cooler" for glues, lubes, etc. in car

[William R. Monroe]

Dave,

Also in WI.

I have a plastic toolbox for all my glues and lubes.  Nothing fancy.  It comes in at night, but remains in the car throughout the day.  On thing that has made enough of a difference for me to not bother getting a cooler (which I probably should do anyway, for that extra protection), is covering that toolbox with a heavy moving blanket, folded up twice.  Four layers of moving blanket provide quite a lot of insulation, and keep my glues etc. from experiencing too much heat or cold.

              I don't like to have a lot of little containers of liquids in my tool case - just a small bottle of wood glue.  I have Protek, Barge, Duco Cement, CA glue, debonder, accelerator, and cold hide glue in a little lunch cooler in the car.  Except it doesn't really cool; in fact, it gets too hot and the Barge glue turns to rubber, the Duco cement goes bad, volatile stuff evaporates, even with the cap on.  In the summer, cars can get up to 130 degrees inside with the windows up and the sun beating down.  Then in the winter, it can get down to at least the 30's - near freezing.  Of course it gets colder than that overnight, but I bring the little lunch cooler inside every night.  

              But it doesn't insulate well enough to protect all these glues and lubes.

              What does everyone else use?
