[SML] Painted Drop Storage

[Barney Simon]

A liner of muslin or wax paper is a great idea. It would not only keep the painted parts  from touching each other, it would add a thickness and might keep the folds from being as sharp.

                That’s the way I know.

             Barney, you say your problems are"cracking of the paint on the folds, and sometimes the paint sticking to itself.”  I don’t know what to suggest for the cracking paint, but as to the paint sticking to itself, what about folding a separator of some kind into it. Wax paper comes to mind, or fabric “Lining material.” (My DaLite Fast-Fold screen material came with tissue paper folded into it to prevent the screen sticking to itself.)
