Hello,
I was hoping that someone could suggest a book or resource that would
help me determine how to properly house and store large, cumbersome 3-D
objects. I have a number of akward pieces in the archive that I need
to take care of and I am unsure of exactly what to do, For example I
have a large piece of glass, approximately 5'x3', that has pieces of
books, tennis balls and tubes attached to it and sticking out of it, a
table cloth that has an intentional stain of instant coffee, espresso,
koolaid, worcestershire sauce, pepto-bismol, dirt, potting soil, dried
blood, glass, manure, plaster, coffee, sawdust, soot, paint pigment,
paprika, tumeric, curry, clothing dye, tidy bowl pellet, pepto-bismol
and boiled ham. I also have a large plexiglass cone, 56 1/2" x 19 5/8"
and a plexiglass ball, 35" in diameter. This is only a small sampling
of the various objects.
Clearly no cabinet or box is large enough for these objects and I do
not know what I need to do to keep them clean and safe. Any suggestions
or resources would be most appreciated.
oh, here is a link if you want to see the cone and ball

and a link to the table cloth
