I think I've found a way to avoid that....

I place my Bare Metal sheets under several heavy coffee table books. The weight of the books keep all the elements away from the sheets and I truly believe that extends the life of the Bare Metal. Works for me so far.

Just remembered a conversation I had this weekend with a fellow car modeler. I went to his house on Saturday, and bought some new models. He said that modeling foil is in short supply. Maybe in Texas, but is that true nationwide?
- I buy mine direct from Bare Metal. *NM*
  - Have you visited their website lately? It has been showing all of their foils, except gold and black, as being out of stock for at least the last two months. *NM*
    - I just checked their website, they are out. I've emailed them asking when they will be replenishing their stock. *NM*
      - Hopefully you'll get some type response. My email, sent early last month, has only been met with radio silence. *NM*
    - No I haven't. Last time I bought foil I bought two sheets to save on shipping costs. Still have plenty. *NM*
- My normal Oz supplier has also been unable to supply any BMF chrome type of foil for at least 6months, I thought it was a DT issue but maybe not. *NM*
  - And a problem with having a "stash" of it, is that the adhesive properties diminish with time. *NM*
