How much does the temperature vary in your darkroom? If your darkroom is
in 
a "comfort range", perhaos 65-75F, you shouldn't have any problem. Color 
RA-4 and film processing would be a different matter, of course.

Just because you are using it for photo processing doesn't mean it must be
a 
photo tray. (Actually for a 16x20 Jobo tray, that's probably not a bad 
price!)  I don't know what's available in China, but in the USA, you can 
find a lot of darkroom usable stuff at WalMart and HomeDepot.
