If you want to take 20 shots, but you only have 10 film holders, how do you store the exposed sheets while you shoot the rest?

I have the bag and box from a used box of film that I could put the exposed sheets back into, but is there any problem with the emulsion sticking to another sheet, or something of that nature?

What have you guys done in the past?

Thanks
 
You can store both unexposed and exposed sheet film in boxes when the film aren't in holders. Exercize caution so you know which box is which, else you'll double expose. "Sticking" is not an issue unless the boxes/film gets wet... and that is a problem in-and-of itself. Some people also fear emulsion scratches, but htat's not much of a practical proble. Don't violently shake the boxes and it isn't a problem.
 
Used film bag *and* box. Use thin cardboards inside the bag to separate the exposed films by exposure brackets, subjects, etc.
