Could you be a bit more specific?

Are you looking for a substance that won't get any colder than 60 °F (15.6 °C) if it's put in an environment in which the temperature is considerably cooler than 60 °F?

Because that is fundamentally impossible.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

mmmh....   ;D

it would need to be a perfect isolator with no radiation leaving off....


 8)  ... like, for example , a huuuuuuge non - rotating black hole (so Hawking radiation in negligible),
which by no means is impossible...
... but is nothing I would like to come even near to, so it's quite impractical, I admit

is it "gel-like or liquid" ?
I don't know
nobody knows
so it even might be, yes   >:D


I love when philosophy and science do collide, those moments are most amusing...

btw.: my reading of the original question is, that Keokha is looking for a liquid or a gel that wouldn't form droplets no longer (i.e. remain +/- constant in shape) when cooled below 60° F
like common glass, for example
