The only way
to store Mylar safely is rolled in a loose role.

Yes, it's like old nitrate film stock. It's quite dangerous when rolled
tightly!

Mylar has a memory, stupid. Roll it too tightly and it tends to
want to stay that way. Since it is a laminate in the case of sails,
tightly rolling it has a tendency to cause delamination.

Lord, but you people are idiots.

How long does Mylar need to retain a form/shape/bend?

RB

I don't know the technical details but I do know that
heat exacerbates the tendency of a roll of it wishing
to remain curled up. It is best to roll it loosely rather
than tightly. This is pretty much the case with most
any plastic.
