How do I store a worktop jig?
I have a new Howdens worktop jig. I've had it stored behind my sofa as I'm wary of leaving it in my shed as I thought it may warp but then I thought it should be okay as it's laminated.
How do you store yours?

Like a cane fishing rod - hung against a flat wall in an atmosphere not prone to wild changes of temperature & humidity, so not a shed. Definitely not on a shelf.
If laminated, what's it made of? I thought worktop jigs were 8mm or 10mm aluminium.
