Suzanne-
Can mounts be made for the objects that stabalize them from the bottom,
inside or other non-intrusive manner? Then the mount can be attached
inside a box or other shipping container, and nothing has to touch the
object. The interior of the box could be lined with visquine or some
other material to diminish the dust of the box.
I have had to ship several objects which could not be "touched", and
found this to be very successful. Of course, the boxes must be handled
very carefully. Will they be traveling via Fine Art shippers?
Good luck!

Subject: Re: Packing sticky objects for shipment
Hi list,
Does anyone have suggestions for packing sticky objects? We're loaning
about a dozen pieces of folk art, painted with thick oils, that after 20
years are still tacky to the touch. Tissue sticks to them, bubble wrap
leaves marks, and we're pretty sure that the transport won't be made in
a climate-controlled vehicle. The humidity in Louisiana this time of
year is awful, so the painted items will probably be stickier than
usual.
Thanks!

There is a great deal of very good information about marking object in
The New Registration Methods, as well as in two additional Registrars
Committee publications (Beyond Nail Polish I and II). Check the RC-AAM
website
(www.rcaam.org) for more information (go to Benefits and then
Publications).
