I think i've posted on this board more today than
in the past 5 months^^;;;!
Anyway...
I keep all my cels in cel bags...Except for a few
groslly oversized ones that I'm having trouble
finding cel bags fot -_-.
The ones that aren't in the cel bags always make
me worry...but in the 4 years I've had them they
haven't loss any line or paint quality. Some of
the ones in the bags however...Have lost some
line quality.
BUT
I really think it's in the production quality of
the cel that affects the outcome of your cels
quality. Like TOEI cels seem to always lose
their line quality no matter what you do. I
think storage also plays an important role in the
quality of your cels.
My cels never see the light of day, unless I'm
taking them out to look at them, or if I'm
venting the cel bags. All i do is open up the
cel bags, take out the cel, look to see if it
needs cleaning, & simply put it back in the bag.
that gives it a chance to "air out" all the gases
that may be trapped inside. Then away they go
back into the massive art portfolios I have them
all stored in. They're on a flat table in my
dry, humid-free, & dark basement ^^.
I think it all boils down to how well you take
care of your cels, as well as the quality of the
cel as it was made for production.
As for the price tag residue...
I really couldn't give you any solid advice on
that one. It all depends on the type of residue
(yeah...Sometimes there's different price tag
residues^^;;;!). If you want to use the safest
liquid...I would used de-mineralized water. Pour
it on a clean, soft cloth, & gently wipe at the
residue. Don't saturate the cloth with water
though. You can try applying a bit more pressure
if needed, but think of the cel in the terms of
an egg shell...Too much pressure can cause
damage^^;;!
I hope this helps =)! |
