<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 24858601, member: 93888&quot;]Oh, good information.&nbsp; I definetly didn&#039;t dive that deep into it only because I was looking for a comparison mostly and the best info I could find was the study by the US Forest Lab.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know there&#039;s much more to it, as you&#039;ve mentioned.&nbsp; I think of my choices, shellac is going to be a better option and I found an article where it was recommended by someone who deals with museum artifacts.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh I have a modern safe as well....the pricier stuff goes in there (of which I have very few).&nbsp; Also the smell in shellac is largely due to the alcohol and actually once the alcohol off gasses it&#039;s known to produce far less VOCs than alot of other finishes and is recommended to people sensitive to that sort of thing.&nbsp; Time will tell, I have a couple 1 gram silver bars that will be living in there in raw form as guinea pigs.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as why so many &quot;old time collectors&quot; refuse to use wood cabinets.&nbsp; Alot of times it&#039;s because of a lack of knowledge on WHY they were bad.&nbsp; Obviously there are many who are knowledgeable as well.&nbsp; If I wanted a wood cabinet and was concerned, I&#039;d be going straight to solid mahogany as the wood.&nbsp; I&#039;m not storing $1000 worth of silver in here, it&#039;ll be 75% clad, copper, bronze, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
