Ok. I found out that at -15f, it's definitely too cold in my shop...
for me to stay in there and do any experiments.

I only tried my 80 grit, it's about all I use anymore.
When I go out to feed the dog later, I will try it again, and the other grits too.

How long did you hold it on the wheel?

I wonder if there's a temperature "sweet spot" where it is firm enough to load well, but not so frozen that it doesn't work at all - that was the case with mine. It was like a frozen brick.

I'm pretty sure we both use Formax. Maybe different temperature or water content.
The tube I was using is a few years old, and is on the dry side.

I went to use mine the other day and I couldn't get the frozen compound to load at all.
I popped it in my powder coat oven at the lowest temp for about 15 minutes to get it to thaw enough to load.
