Dollar Tree has ziplock type bags in several sizes. $1 a box. I put my ufo's in them and squeeze the air out. So it should work for stabilizers.

Need to add: They are not the food storage ones. They are in the laundry section (I think). They are almost the same as the huge ziplock bags for balls, junk, etc. Very thick plastic also.

I keep mine in one of those stacked rolling drawers I get at walmart. I am in FL and have no problem with it.

Thanks -- will try a few of the options mentioned and see which work the best. Right now I am liquifying some that softened and stuck together (will paint it on and see if that works).

I would use cellophane. The expensive breads come wrapped in cellophane, it is better for retaining or keeping out moisture than soft plastic. If you notice candy is usually wrapped in cellophane. Big pieces of this should be easy to find this time of the year or any gifty holiday.
