I could buy a box of Jessup sheet from the local distributor. I can't think of a single reason why grip will decrease it's quality over time but I wanted to make sure before I purchase. What's the best way to storage grip?
I got free sheets of Jessup from a shop and it was brittle and didn‘t stick very good, probably lay around too long so be careful.
Some grip does lose its stickiness over time, but stored well, same as boards, flat and out of sunlight, heat, cold, etc and you should be fine with it for as long as you take to use it.
Still have some Jessup sheets that are ten or more years old and they work fine. Others have come off their backing paper I have seen, but I don't think they were stored as well.
I feel like the current Jessup is better than what it has been as well, cause there were a few batches that seemed a bit average a few years back and people were having issues with them, but I have also heard the same about Mob and other grip too, some batches are as expected and some are not.
If the first sheet or three in the box are good, the rest should be as well.
