Worked in an old downtown (no breeze) shop with a flat tar roof (body shop). It got so hot in summer the tar would drip down into you hair (back when I had some) and you just ripped the hair out. I used shop rags and the water fountain to keep cool so I could keep busting out work. One rag around the neck and one at each armpit, wrapped around the arm itself, with a regular shot of cold fountain water to keep you from passing out from heat stroke.

These days I just hang on to a large styrofoam cup fill it with ice and then top it off with cold water. Now If I can just stop forgetting it when I take it out of the car at a yard sale.

I use a thermos for longer outdoor times, like a round of golf or a trip to the range.
