Storing Precautions
DRY STORAGE
Keep the coil and sheets dry and store them in a well-ventilated place.
AVOID WETNESS AND CONDENSATION
If wetness or condensation is found, then dry it at once. An effective measure
is to dry a shipment with a fan or similar equipment while unpacking it.
COVERED STORAGE
Always store the sheets in a covered storage area.
OPEN STORAGE
Although not recommended, if in any case the sheets must be stored in the
open, the following precautions should be taken:
• Put sleepers such as square pieces of lumber at proper intervals on
the ground and then place the sheets on top of them.
• Lay sleepers on flat ground. The tops of the sleepers must be equally
leveled to prevent the sheets from warping.
• Ensure air circulation.
• Ensure that the sheets are covered with waterproof sheeting or
canvas to protect them from rain and sunlight.
