ATM:Unpacking a new Mirror



Hi all:
 
I have just received  a 12.5 " F5 coated mirror for my new dob project ,but I think I'm must wait a few months for finishing the truss tube ,the mount,the steppers...
This is no my first proyect: I have succesfully finished two fiberglass OTA (epoxi mirror cells included) for 10" mirrors  ,and I know that sometimes I haven't all the time  I want I  to work on it.
 
My question is very simple.  Must I unpack the mirror?
The mirror is packet with soft tissue paper  in contact with the aluminized surface.My dealer told me that there is not a SiO coat on it . I wonder if the  tissue`s pattern can be transfered  in some way to its surface.
I have bought a isulated box to store it but i prefer to know your opinion about this.
 
Thanks in advance.
