my lamp oil stored in the garage is frozen. Will it be okay to use when thawed? (paraffin oil) Sorry, I'm just a city gal. (but I'm learning!)

I can't imagine that freezing would damage it. I didn't know it would actually freeze. It might be best to be sure some of it is in the lamps you intend to use. It would be hard to pour if it's like jello.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

If it's in a plastic bottle put it in some thing, you may have a crack in bottle and when it thaws will leak out. It should still be ok to use in lamp.

I just noticed that what I had stored in the garage is frozen too. It looks more like it is congealed, not frozen solid like water.

I think once it is warmed up it will be fine. I'm too cold to go out and bring it in right now.
