I am thinking of keeping all my stash decals in on place to protect them. Anybody got a prefered way to do this?

I don't have much of a stash of decals, bit would have thought a Dry, Dark Airtight box would be good - maybe with a sachet of silica jel crystals to keep it all nice and dry would do

Greetings all;
The way that works best for me is to use a 3 ring binder with clear sleeves for individual insert 8X11" white pages...copy paper. I use a single side to hold specific sheets of decals. Partial sheets can have stick glue added to a corner and glued directly to the paper insert. I have a similar folder for photoetch pieces and frets. The binders on the right side of theis image of my work bench are mostly used for decals.

Thanks gents,
I believe I will try a combo of both your ideas. That should do the trick. Common sense is hard to see sometimes when I think too hard.
