Hi all, Testing of the latter two products has been fairly well documented and both are accessible online through Talas, Gaylord, even Brodart and others -- while my ultimate recommendation was that she have her collection assessed by a local private conservator before any application of any home remedy, I did recommended that she should definitely not be an early adopter of the Krylon product.

I am not familiar with it and offered to query PADG. Have any of you heard of it? For the record, she is not interested in using it in-house; rather, she is wondering if this is something she could recommend to patrons who want to deacidify their personal mementos.
