I use the type of propane heater that mounts to the to of a 20 lb
cylinder. I'll bet it gets a little colder in Buffalo then Florida and it
works for me. As far as gas heaters and gasoline fumes...well all the
garages I know of use gas heat with no problems. I guess it is like the
argument that some use about storing paint etc inside. Some go as far as
building a shed out doors(at least they claim they do) the question I
would ask is where did the store you bought the paint/solvent store it?
