I packed up some spare cotton/nylon military and flight jackets in storage following the currently favoured procedure of using acid free paper and polypropylene boxes. I then made the fatal mistake of checking 'The Interwebs' to see if I'd done it right. Obviously a grave error: 'Oh but is your paper lignin-free?' 'Is it buffered or unbuffered?'
Having spent a half-day packing the jackets and a week fretting about it I discover that the internets tell me I may have used the wrong paper. I've spent a lot of time, money and energy on this and am loathe to go back and repeat. Also, the 'unbuffered lignin free' paper seems not to be widely available. It's doable but not common. Is this possibly because there is no demand and in fact no need for it?
I would really like to just put this issue aside so I'd love to hear any opinions. The jackets in question are Buzz repros and 1960s US ripstops (not heirlooms but important to me) and will be in storage for anywhere between 1 and 5 years but not decades.
Opinions enthusiastically received.
