Howdy!

The local library has offered to display some of my cels in their display case for a month or two. The library never turns off the lights, so, these cels would receive quite a bit of artificial light exposure. However, since all I own are Toei Animation cels that are prone to line fading, I'd like to protect them as much as possible.

A few months ago someone mentioned something about opylite(sp?) being a good see-through protector for cels as it filters out a lot of the damage light exposure can do to it. Has anyone purchased this for their cels?

For those of you who have framed their cels(or have done exhibition type stuff), any advice would be appreciated.

Try PMing or emailing Sensei. I know he's done this kind of exhibition stuff before.

To begin the research yourself, try doing a web search for 'paper conservation' and 'uv protection achival' for example. Some good keywords that might be in a document.
You'll find sites with FAQs and retailers with guidance and info. This method is always my first option when I want to learn something.
