1Wally 204 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Laid flat, on a rack ideally. Grease on the cut ends. So my grandad said years ago anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 As has been said, lay them flat. Although some will still bend even when tied in bundles. Just make sure they have air able to circulate around them and they will be fine. TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Never heard of putting wax on the ends but I've always cut them 6 or 8 inches too long either end to allow for splitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
