how do you store glass

When doing a restore how do you store your glass so it does not break.

Do you build some sort of rack or what do you do?

Looking for ideas

Thanks

mine was on my dining room table for about 6 months. All you need is an understanding wife.

Harbor freight moving blankets to wrap them up, then stashed in the back of a closet works. Just don't forget where you put them!

Glass is much safer stored vertically than flat, if possible. Storing it in plain sight like Bob's dining room table isn't a bad idea, either! - Matt

Storing vertically (on edge) is the safest way. I had several auto panes stored in a foam cooler, placed on edge, and each pane separated by a thin sheet of foam. Ever see a truck carrying glass? Always carried on edge in a near vertical position.

I wrapped mine in bubble (the small bubble) wrap & stored them vertically.
