Climbing skins cheat sheets?

I'm still very new to the backcountry world. I got my first pair off AT bindings and skins last year, mounted them and hiked with them twice, late in the season. Since my skins are still new, and VERY sticky, I haven't liked sticking them together (glue to glue). Anybody have any experience with cheat sheets? Any recommendations? Any do-it-yourself cheat skin separators?

I use the plastic/rubber mesh that came with my skins - I put one skin on each side. It's definitely easier than pulling them apart from themselves/each other.

How about brands for separators? I have BCA skins, but they didn't come with sheets inbetween, just a heavy duty paper (like the back of a sticker). I've kept the paper as a temporary solution, but I know they're not going to hold up too long.

I once brought my skins to the sop asking them to cut then down for new skis. I had them stuck to each other. The shop guy threw a hissy fit and gave me a new cheat sheet. So, yes, they have them around. On the other hand, my Avy 1 guide says they're stupid. :noidea:

I use them. It's just easier, although they do get less sticky over time, so that sticking them to each other isn't so hard to deal with anymore.
