Bought a can of Tyreweld to give some sort of backup now that I've switched to non-RFT's. Reading the small print on the back, it says "Protect from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50C/122F." How hot do you reckon it could get in the boot on a hot sunny day? I would say comfortably in excess of 50C.
I would hope that Holt's had built in a fair degree of margin before anything nasty happens, and obviously the small print is only there to cover their arses, but given that the stuff is intended to be carried around in the boot of a car it does seem a bit limiting.

Yes, I'm sure they probably do, but how many of them are actually intended to be permanently located in the boot of a car?
I'm not worried about it - just seems an odd limitation given the environment Holt's know it's going to be stored in.

The boot doesn't actually get too hot when parked in direct sunlight. Mine was in sunlight all day today and when I opened the boot after work to change into trainers, it wasn't hot at all.
