Adhesive vs non-adhesive protection film

[Firestarter]

How about just using cling film?

Just a word of warning. I purchased some "Impact" rubber protector pouches and put one on a blade with brand new Rhyzer rubbers and it had the strange effect of causing the rubbers to develop some very small raised pimples on the surface. Fortunately, on removal of the sleeve, the pimples disappeared after a few days in the air.
I found that the sleeves had an oily film on the inside, possibly something to do with the manufacturing process. Washing the pouches in soapy water has eliminated the problem.
