If your goal is to totally contain the wood to prevent or minimize off-gassing, Marvelseal is a foil lining product that comes in large rolls and applies to the wood with an iron.   The seams may also be heat sealed.  Several conservators I’ve worked with over the years have selected this material so seal the insides of plywood crates and wooden cabinets. It isn’t cheap but I recently purchased 4 large rolls from Gaylord when they had an inventory clearance sale and that made it a little better.

I am looking for foil-backed shelf liners to use on some old wooden display cases.  So far I’ve only found one supplier in the US.  If anyone has additional sources, I’d appreciate the ability to do comparison shipping.

Thanks.
