P3D re: VM film storage- one tip and one question

["Ivester, Paul" <ivestep@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After I mount the first batch of V-M chips, I put the 
film back in the sleeve.  (If you have your film 
developed by Kodak and don't get sleeves, empty sleeving 
is available cheaply from many sources).  These sleeves 
are usually polypropylene, and are considered archival.  
I then label the end of the roll with indelible marker, 
and store them loosely rolled inside the perimeter of a 
35mm movie film can.  I am currently using a 400' can 
(7" diameter) which is OK for a few rolls.  If you need 
to store more rolls, use a 1000' can.  The 2000' cans 
are rather large and are cumbersome for this use, though 
they are more common.  I store movies in them :-).   I 
also use a 400' can for rolls waiting to be mounted, in 
all 35mm stereo formats.
