Thread: Alum block preservation

Hi Everyone,

After reading through some of the posts here and at B&B I bought my first Alum block. It's going great and I love it but I'm not sure how to store it. So, my question is after use should you dry it and put it in a container? Or dry it and leave it sitting? Or just leave it wet on the sink?

If it's relevant, the one I bought was made in Portugal by 444. And the reason I ask is because after the first time I used it I left it sitting with water on it and by the next day some holes had appeared in it. I wasn't sure whether this is normal or not.

Many thanks for all the comments and information on this site; it's a pleasure to read.

Robert
