Hi, Milissa,

We have rolled our acidic tubes in acid free blotter paper, and then 
rolled the textile on the tube. However, over time the blotter paper 
will become acidic and need to be replaced. The sheets of blotter are 
not wide enough to cover an entire tube, so it takes 2 or 3 (depends on 
length of tube), overlapping each other, to cover full length.
