Sticky situations (Wed May 7 03:20:37 2003 )

Since I'm new to this art of cel collecting I'm 
quite full of questions so bear with this newby 
please.

I've been going to various sites here and there 
and reading about how to take care of cels and 
all. I've also been monitoring posts and other 
subjects that have been going on here as well. 
One thing that I've been focusing on is the fact 
that cels are made with a paint that, by nature, 
is designed to stick... correct?

What I was wondering is is there anything that's 
been tried to dissipate the "stickness" of the 
paint that is exposed to keep it from sticking 
to things you don't want it to. Like other cels 
or backgrounds or drawings?

I was just curious if anyone has created a 
spray  or something that one could spray on the 
back of cels that "seals" them to the elements 
and keeps them safe and easier to handle without 
damaging them.

Perhaps it's just the way I think. But I would 
think that if cel collecting is so popular among 
the fans that someone somewhere would have 
thought of something similar so as to preserve 
cels for archival storeage.

Just how long WILL a cel last that's been framed 
or placed in one of those archival binders that 
Nichibei sells anyway?

And finally,... is there any place I could go 
online that can give indepth information about 
cels and generally answer all these questions I 
keep coming up with? I'd hate to keep bothering 
everyone here with goofy questions like these. I 
apologize.

Thanks for any info. though
