Subject: [MUSEUM-L] wooden shelving
Hello all!
The institution I work for is looking into buy enamel baked bulk shelving which
requires a wood decking of sorts. My question is twofold:
What types of wood decking are considered safe for museum storage?
And, whatever type of wood I use I want to seal it. I have seen the comparisons
of marvelseal to household aluminum foil, but does anyone have any knowledge if
aluminum vapor barrier sold in hardware stores is safe? For example I found a
site called atticfoil.com which sells a solid aluminum vapor barrier with a
layer of polyethylene scrim sandwich between two layers of 99% pure foil. Also,
whether I go with Marvelseal or this vapor barrier I found, should I paint the
wood first to add an additional layer of protection? Will marvelseal bond to
painted surfaces?
Thanks ahead of time for all help!
