Uncurl 

 

Random orbital sanders are great tools but the sanding disks tend to curl up (especially in high humidity) and make it difficult to position on your sander.

As you can see to the right, the discs want to curl up into a taco shape when stored in the paper box you purchased them in.

 

 
If you store the sanding disks in cheap disposable food storage containers with scrap MDF on top of them for weight the problem goes away.

 

I bought the containers at the grocery store in the sandwich zip bag section. 

 
After putting the disks in the containers with a weight on top of them  write the grit number on the top.

The containers stack nicely and keep the humidity problems in check.
