Jim:
I don't know if this helps you or not, but your
query reminded me of something I saw on a recent episode of Antiques
Roadshow on PBS. Someone brought in an beautiful Renaissance oil
on a wooden panel that had been sent for conservation several years
back. The camera clearly showed circular impressions left by bubble
wrap that was used to wrap the painting for it's return shipment to the
owner, after the conservation work. Ouch!!
Good luck in your search for info!

I would like to know if
anyone has information on long term storage of items in bubble wrap.
The specific case involves paintings (oil & acrylic) on canvas or
board as well as framed works on paper, ranging from early to late 20th
Century. Most of the works on paper will not be in bubble wrap, but a
few will. The items will be in a somewhat climate controlled building,
but the specific area will more than likely not have air circulating. I
am concerned about the storage area as well as the works being wrapped
for a long period, but I cannot cite any specific information as to a
length of time they could remain wrapped and what might happen to them
if they stay that way for 6 months or a year. If anyone knows any
reference material on this subject or someone I should talk to, I would
like to be able to pass this information along. Thanks.
