Storing MM and CA
At the moment I store my Micro Mesh in a tub of water so that it's constantly wet and ready to use, not sure if this will affect its longevity. I store all the CAs in another plastic tub (only worry here is that sometimes the bottles don't stay upright) and the accelerator is kept separate. Appreciate any comments on whether this is the best set-up for these.

I don't store my MM wet. I made a little rack that holds all the pads seperately until dry after use. I then put them back in their original plastic bag for storage.
I have heard that they can fall apart if stored wet. Not sure if that is true or not.Dallas

CA kept in the fridge will last longer.
I dry my MM and store it in a plastic container. Every so often I put it in a mesh bag and run it through the washing machine to clean all the grime off it.

I have a bar fridge that i too keep the CA in, I have 2 types of MM the foam backed double sided and the grey sheets used with the dense foam block. I generally leave the grey sheets of MM in a container of water. The foam ones tend to shrink after some time left in water.
Cheers

Thanks for your suggestions. I'd love the luxury of a fridge in the garage but I don't have any space for one so I envy those of you who have one. Guess I may have to fight for some space in the fridge, it's only food after all.

No problems Steve. Unfortuantely, I couldn't get in again on Sunday - maybe next year.
Washing that MM does wonders for it.
