         And I just store them stacked on large nails topped with a washer
and driven into a scrap board. This way they are compressed very tightly
for a month or so before being used. It's hard for me to say exactly how
much that stabilizes them, but it certainly helps. In any case, if we
always remember to include and expect a follow up regulation with every
action job, these various methods probably all come out in the "wash".
