  another good idea I heard on a previous thread was to roll them up on swimming noodles- would take two or three I'm sure...

  The noodle is probably a good idea for short term storage, like a few hours. But not long term storage. You don't want isinglass to isinglass contact. If there's any condensation, the plastic can stick to itself and cause dulling.

  There is a discussion on here from @Black_Diamond about storage bags he made for his isinglass.  Its on my list to make.

  perhaps just stored under the mid ship berth mattress with a sheet in between? I have recently had new made, for the front half, but yet to use it!

  I had straps sewn on the bimini top and I roll them into the top, that way I don't have to store them and if a weather comes up quick I just have to release the straps and all my isinglass is there to be fastened down quickly.

  I kind of saw something like that where a captain used bungee cords and pulled the plastic over the bimini and then fastened on the other side....I seldom even have my top open but it looked like a pretty good idea....

  That sounds pretty slick Ron!  Love to see a picture or two as I'm sure others would benefit (would be a bit tough for me to roll into the hardtop).  I've got some old sheets I'm planning on doing a quick sew to put them individually in, similar to BD.

  I used the swim noodle method. go to a fabric store and get some terry cloth. start by rolling the noodle onto the terry cloth then start rolling the isinglass and the terry cloth together. this will keep a layer of cloth between the isinglass
