Has anyone had any experience with disposing of old, deteriorating
celluloid objects? (Not nitrate film) Refrigeration slows down the decay
process, but doesn't stop it. I was wondering what the recommended
practice for disposal is. A chemist friend told me that with very small
amounts (and I'm talking a hairpin) he would burn the material by
putting it into a glass dish, soaking in alcohol and setting on fire. In
an area where he wouldn't breathe the fumes. This isn't exactly the
option for me.
Any ideas, thoughts?
