Hi there,
I'm new to the forum and just getting back into collection banknotes. Not only Canadian.
I have some notes that I want to frame myself and I want to be sure I don't ruin them. So I'm hoping to get some pointers.
My plan is the following:
- use acid-free and lignin-free matboard
- place the notes in mylar sleeves (This is actually what led me here - I'd love some advice on brands and a good Canadian source)
- I plan on hanging the frame in the basement next to my desk. I've read that basements/attics are the worst places to store notes, but mine is dry and a constant temperature
With regard to using
DuPont mylar/melinex (or similar) sleeves: would it be safe to use a non-acid-free mat? i.e. would the sleeve protect the notes against any acidity from the board?
The frames would not be exposed to sunlight
Any other tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
