Storing sanding blocks and DA

Just curious. I have a set of Dura blocks. Regarding storing the blocks and my DA with paper on it. Leave the paper on or take it off? If I take it off all kinds of dust and such gets stuck to the surface. But on the other hand if I leave the paper on and come back a week or two later, the paper is stuck on good and usually rips and I have to pick off the remnants.
How do you guys store your blocks and DA?
Thanks guys.

Id say its all personal preference. I usually take the paper off of mine Blow them off real good. ( I also keep mine stored in a tool box)

I store mine with the paper off and in a box sideways. if I have to clean the flat surface I'll use a rag with some thinners.

Ok, it'll be paper off and on its side for me. Thanks guys.

Store them flat, paper on, because mine all have dust buildup on them which keeps the paper from sticking. If i do get residue builup I use something like PPG DX330 or SPI 710 and clean off the adhesive then coat them with body shop dust (primer body filler dust etc).

I store them sideways so as not to bend in the middle and possibly take a set when I expect not be using them for a while. This is for the larger blocks being they do have some flex.
