I'm starting my build, and since I don't have a working truck at the moment, I will try to pick as many aluminum sheets as I can at one time with my friend's truck & car trailer. So I'll have some sheets that sit around for a while.

How is everyone storing alclad sheets before they cut them to avoid bends and scratches? Rolled, flat, on it's side? Paper between layers or removable contact paper? Any designs for a good rack system that doesn't take up much room?

After cutting the parts, how do you store them if you don't use them immediately?

Thanks,
