While I was in town today I stopped at the comic book store and picked up a package of the comic book boards to try out. The girl that waited on me was super sweet and I told her how I was going to use the boards. As I was paying for them, she made a point of telling me only one side is buffered so to have it completely acid free I would need to put 2 boards together with the buffered sides out.
I've been reading the posts about using the boards and I got the impression everyone was using only one board. Did I miss the part where two boards are used? Or, are there different boards out there that are buffered on both sides? |
Some people use 2 together, but I think most just use one.
What does the buffered side look/feel like? Is it the smoother side? |
If your fabric will be stored for decades then use two boards. I use just the one board and not worried at all.

thanks for the information about using 2 of them to be acid free

Thank you for this information.
I hope not to have fabric that long.......ha |
How long can you safely store fabric on these boards before you need to worry about the unbuffered side?

Comic book collectors keep them there forever. I use them and I go thru them pretty fast since it is the smaller pieces on them. Never thought about one side. I thought it was totally acid free. I don't think paper will hurt the fabric anyway, it is when it is exposed to moisture that the acid free kicks in. IMHO. I love my boards.
