    I've been storing my rubber in these drawers for years. I've often wondered if the air would dry them out over time. I know there is some rubber in there that is probably 10 years old. None of it is dried up, but some is discolored. I'm not sure if the discoloration is just different vendors, or old stock that I've found in machines or wherever.

    Most of the games I do for myself I've been using Titan colored rings, which adds another dimension. These are currently a mess in ziploc bags inside of ziploc bags. Any organization tips before I mix them all in and create a disaster for myself? My space is very limited as well. It would be great if I added another 2 or 3 of these and left enough room to keep everything bagged, but unfortunately not an option.

    I leave them in ziplock bags piled into a box like the picture.... some of mine are a decade or more old too, and they're all fine.

    I just pretty much have them all sealed in ziplock bags by size in a box. I probably should organize them better, especially since some sizes have multiple bags, but meh. If I need to take them somewhere with me, I just grab the box and go.

    On the other hand, I have coil sleeves nicely separated and labeled in small stacking bins, and electronics components nicely organized and labeled (for the most part) in parts drawers and/or parts containers.

    I knew it was only a matter of time before this one got derailed.....
