Default How do you keep latex from sticking?

On my mouth calls I have had for 2 years and really only used a few days, the latex is sticking together. How should I maintain them so that won't happen. I store them in really cool dry enviroment. Some say keep in the frig. I thought thier may be something I can put between the reeds.

You never will stop it from sticking. The only thing that you can do is add some reed savers or tooth picks that will help make it easyer to seperate them , but they still will stick around the savers. Once you place them in your mouth the mosture will get between each reeed much easyer and faster...BT

I've put toothpicks between them; I've dried them and sprinkled corn starch between them, both successful. But, I've kept them for years in a plastic snuff box in the freezer. Along with them, I placed a small cube of sponge soaked in mouthwash. When I pull them out, they are moist and ready to go and the reeds don't stick together.

Thanks, I soaked them last night in listerine and they sound great. Going hunting all next week.
