List and briefly describe (in order) the six steps required to store a record properly.

1. Find a good spot to store your records--neither too cool, too hot, or exposed to direct light / water. 2. Make use of the original sleeves. 3. Make your own sleeve out of wax / butcher paper if the original is inaccessible. 4. Intersperse records with rigid cardboard inserts to keep from accidental bending. 5. Keep records tightly compacted to avoid wiggle room / slippage. 6. Return to sleeve immediately after use, and have fun!
