Lucian, nice to see you here, nice fly

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to get some opinions on material organization/storage. I have a huge amount of materials, and while I've found over time good ways to store other materials, the shear number of flash, synthetic fibers, and streamer brushes has overwhelmed me, and I haven't come up with good solutions. So, how do you store materials like flashabou, ep fibers, sf fibers, and streamer brushes? I'm currently using 2 methods for flash- I have 2 flash "wheels" that hand the hanked flash and it spins. It's similar to commercial flash wheels on the market. The problem is, I have WAY more flash then room for flash wheels, and they take up a lot of room, so the majority I keep in rubbermaid drawers sorted by type of flash. I was just clipping the corner of the bag and pulling fibers out, but on large orders it just got to be too much of a hassle. As far as streamer brushes go, there are some unique circumstances. Most are twisted wire with fibers, and straight out of the package they are fine. I keep new packs on slatwall/pegboard, but often times, I'm left with pieces of varying sizes of leftovers, and I've been keeping them in rubbermaid bins, but the wire inevitably twists from use/storage. Thanks everyone!
