Re: Is fading a factor of the cel's origin? (Thu May 11 15:46:55 2000

It's possible the problem is a factor of the glass. There are different grades of UV protective glass - some which block a wider range of wavelengths of UV light than others. After hearing problems with framing, I've taken down all but one of the cels I had framed. The one I have left up is a cel of Clary which is behind "museum-quality" archival glass that is supposed to block literally 99.5% of all UV light wavelengths. (And I can argue with myself that it's not in incredible shape anyway, so I can play with it. ^_-) Of course, even though it's not in direct sunlight, this still means that .5% of all the UV light that hits that glass is getting through to the cel. I'm sure that adds up. I didn't think about color copies, I've actually considered replicating a couple of my cels as closely as I can and framing the replicas. But it's never really seemed worth the effort. Many Sharp Smiles, --Drac |
