I experienced the same problem, and the line
fading occurred very quickly, so I do not think
it is a matter of the protective coating wearing
off the glass. Unfortunately I don’t think that
any treatment to glass is strong enough to
afford complete protection of UV damage. The
only suggestion I have is what you don’t want to
hear…to put them in completely dark storage. I
recommend scanning the cels and making a high
quality print…then replace the real cels with
the copy in the frame, and keep the original
cels in dark storage. |
