<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 8357576, member: 15199"]Anything I store in an album, box, or other type of encasement, I add a strip of adhesive copper metal that I have scratched up with very fine emery cloth. It works chemically just like all of the others that intercepts the oxidative or corrosive gases. Search "copper foil sheets with adhesive" where you shop ( I prefer Amazon) and find a size/thickness that is good for your purposes. A sheet can be stuck to a thin piece of acrylic plastic or glass so you can remove it from the safe to check and replace or return. I used to use sacrificial 1950s cents and acid rinse the surface to protect, but the sheet is easier to check every time you open the safe. If it is browning fast, add more copper sheets area. </p><p> IMO of course, but the sheets were here before Intercept products I used them for stain glass work also, 30+ years ago.
