Royal Armories (Alison Draper... Conservator)
"Instead of a wooden cutout, we have a dense grade plastazote cutout which will not scratch the metal."
British Museum (Bridget Leach... Conservator of Papyrus)
"As for storage, the frames would ideally be stored horizontally in storage drawers of conservation specifications. However, if you cannot do this and have to stack them, do not stack too many together and interleave them with 3mm sheets of good high density Plastazote."

"Other safe materials for long term care include Plastazote..."
