When you heat the shells they tend to get soft. Its gelatin, not titanium.
Paint should be rotated weekly (or daily) to prevent it from getting dimpled and deformed. It also helps to refrigierate your paint. You want it cool and dry. |

Paintballs dont like heat,or humidity , keep them cool and dry they should have a pretty long "shelf life"

Right next to the AC unit where you said you put them should be great, as long as the AC isn't on "freeze-the-house-super-high". |

why would you refrigierate your paint? have you ever pulled a soda out of the refrigerator? notice how it "bleeds" water? that is water vapor from the air condencing on the can. the second you open that bag of paint the same thing will happen on the inside of the bag, your paint will get wet-wet paint is bad |

I have never had condensation on my paint from refrigerating it. The refrigerator is dry and cool, the perfect climate for paint. If you are concerned about condensation, then pour the paint into your hopper and pods as soon as you take it out. |

I've seen condensation on paintballs. These sat in the garage through 12 winters and 11 summers and then I took them out and they were pretty wet. No, I didn't not play for 12 years, my dad quit 12 years ago and had about 1000 paintballs left. I still use 'em for shooting at squirrels that are stealing the seed and suet we put out for the birds.

Dude, my appologies on your balls getting soft. If I was you I wouldn't take the chance, I'd save it for chrono paint. |
