Ok.... I just got home today and I was sooooooooooooo excited to see that my Kaoru cel was waiting for me
Now my hubby is soooooooooooo trying hard to support my hubby which is a good thing.
So when I opened the package (ok the plastic box which the cel was was COMPLETELY destroyed so I was worried a second but the cel itself was fine ..... hew....) I have noticed that the cel and the sketch were attached by staplers. So I was trying to remove the staplers slowly. While I put a cel for a second and looking for a new cel bag my hubby was trying to help me and said "I will remove staplers" and grab the cel without cotton gloves!!!! It seems that there are no major fingure prints on the cel (there are some in the coner ) but it is still I cannot mad at him or anything.....
How can I train him.......???? (or what should I say in these situation? ) He is 100 times better than before but he is toooooooo much helpful..... in a wrong way.....

I think he is the farest end of collector type He is not destroyer but for him if something is not practical they are not useful...... So he has NNOOOOOOOOOOOO idea why I am collecting plastic super expensive paintings

Although I do have to admit I do not use gloves, I don't touch the paint and am sure the acetate should be alright with the odd touch (to initially put them in cel bags)...maybe it's a woman thing?
Cels aren't even treated with great care while being created or being used, so I wouldn't worry too much, these pieces of art aren't designed to last forever, but they should last long enough while in your collection... so be like aernath and 'enjoy' your cels!
Heheh you should be thankful he is at least interested to help you, although I'm suprised he didn't get the pliers out and yank the staples out...

That is true
But I talked to my hubby and I asked why he was trying to help me and his answer was as soon as I came back from a trip, I spent way much time dealing with my cel so I wanted me to pay attension to him and my visitor, instead
Considering how many ungloved hands frequently handle cels prior to purchase, I wonder how many collectors actually do bother with the gloves while they're bagging their 'new' cel? The results of a poll might be interesting to see.

That is true..... I might make a new thread to see it

You DO love to live dangerously, don't you, O Ye of Many Enemas, er, I mean Enemies? Oh! Wait!! Is THAT the meaning of the spots all over your more frisky cels?
I did know that, of course. I just don't bother with it as most of my cels have already been lovingly scratched, abused, smoked at, dinged up, framed in the worlds' worst conditions, or otherwise pre-damaged. So the potential for a cat hair or a fingerprint of mine will hardly matter
