>> I've had thousands of records in my basement and a garage which experiences the temperature extremes of Southern Ontario's summers and winters and I've seen no evidence of damage to the records - but I don't check them very often.  I never bring a record in from the garage during the winter because of the vapour that forms on the surface when the cold record meets the warmth of the house.

I've never tried it, mainly because I don't have any metal film containers.
