Store your decals over a long period of time.

Put them in a folder.

how much longer will they last in a folder as opposed to unprotected? weeks, months?

[Norbert Revels]

I was thinking to put them in a big zip lock bag to keep safe, is that a good idea

P.S. I tryed to use some from 2 years ago and they were kinda dryed out, they broke/split very easy.

I've heard the Ziplock method is a good idea,
get the wee manilla folders, zip them up, that sh'd keep them.

Norbert,
I put all me extras and full sheets in the Plastic Protectors used for Book reports and sports cards. Then to a 3 ring binder. I just used some Steelers decals I've had for 4 years, and they came off like brand new.

Norbert,
I use the zip-lock bag method myself.It works fine.For
a "full" sheet I use the "Gallon" sized bag.After I've cut
it ( the sheet) up,I use smaller plastic ( lock type) bags found at
WalMart or craft stores.These I store in a " quart" sized Zip-Lock
bag.You have an area on the ZipLock bags to label them.Comes
in very handy for finding decals .
You want to keep the decals from rubbing up against any rough
surfaces.A folder is fine,provided you cover the decal sheet with
"rice" paper or something non-abrasive.I've tried the sheet-protectors
also.They're OK but you can't seal them across the top like a
ZipLock bag.In my opinion the ZipLock bag is the way to go.Whatever
works for you bro.As I said,just my opinion(s).

SEMPER FI,

been using ziplock bags for a while, now and it works fine. I have been experimenting with spraying the decals first with a sealer, then put them away.

NoRbert, if your decals are splitting, try letting them sit in the water a little longer.

Fellas,
You know the plastic sheet covers that you place notebook paper, documents or reports. it will keep the whole sheet flat and you can organize them into a notebook if you like. This is a Smitty idea. I'm sure he won't mind sharing.
