Glad this idea of the boards works for you. I tried the ones to buy, but they wouldn't fit into the cupboard I already had.

smcfadden, love your avatar. what is it about sinks that cats like to curl up in them? mine does it almost everyday whether the sink is dry or not.
I make my own acid free boards, cut them the size that fits my shelves and store them in their own closet style pantry with shelves and the doors close. So, you can make them to fit any size shelves you want. I just wouldn't recommend "chipboard" as it also has glue in it which can start an entirely different problem than simply acid...
