    Question Foam Applicator Storage

    Is it ok to store foam hand applicators in a zipped bag for future use or should it be washed out, dried and stored that way?

    Thanks

    While I'm at it, does the WG 3.0 Sealant really require a WG yellow foam applicator?

    I wash mine, dry them and put them in a ziploc bag.

    WG DGPS does not require a yellow applicator. You can use any applicator.

    You can apply Wolfgang with an microfiber applicator or any quality foam applicator. As for the foam apps I dry them out and put them on the shelf.

    Like some of the others, I also store my applicators and PC pads in zip-lock bags, but I don't seal the bag.
    My thought is that the applicator/pad will be protected and still be able to finish drying if it has retained any moisture.
    Sealing them if they are still damp could cause them to mold. (Guess how I found that out)

    I use the perforated fruit storage bags. I think those were made for applicator pads.

    Re: Foam Applicator Storage

    I hung the hook side of some industrial adhesive velcro to the inside of a wall cabinet. I would then stick the pads to the cabinet and allow them to drip dry.

    I need to find some of these fruit storage bags. Where can I acquire them?
