Cels Forum

Those "charcoal" backer boards are used to neutralize the
"acid" gas that seeps off from the acidity in the paper. I
don't think it would have much effect on cels.

As for the backing boards, I thought about using them but
they're not really practical. Even the thin backing boards
make a cel book much heavier and thicker. They're already
fat enough with the cels in them.

I suppose you could put the cel in a mylar bag and slip it
in a mylar sleeve along with a backboard. You could store
it upright (like an old comic book) and keep it in a box so
it's out of the light.

Unfortunately your cels would be harder to view, but they
would never be bent. Seems like you'd only do this if you
had a lot of very rare cels.
