       There's just one little problem with this argument.  I have some
       perfect pencil sketches that don't have any bits of color on them 
       from the cels themselves. 

I was imprecise in my use of language. ^_^ I apologize. 
I should have said "which you SOMETIMES get even with unstuck cels."
If I wished to be terribly precise I would say it is the pigment and not the paint itself 
which is transferred in such an instance, but since paint is simply a 
vehicle for the pigment, it seems a pointless distinction. ^_^ I concede.

If you wish to see why I took this risk, went to this effort, please view:

The top cel was the one I already had with the background, 
the second one is the cel from the same scene which was stuck 
to the background.

I am so happy.
Thanks again, Ash.
