I always heard if you use plastic baggies to store plastic things you should leave them slightly open so the stuff inside can breathe.
For MOC we were thinking of wrapping in tissue paper then putting in a large plastic zip bag with a silica packet and packing sealed bags loosely in a Rubbermaid bin. Our concern with that is potentially warping the cards or denting the bubble. Love the comment about the under bed bins so ponies can be only one layer high, that might help MOCS avoid warping too.
I know, this must be the millionth thread of it's kind, so if linking to other topics is more appropriate I understand.I'm seeking advice on the absolute 'Dos and Don'ts' of putting ponies in storage. With particular focus on long term storage in the hot/humid Australian climate. I'm possibly going to be moving somewhere I can't take my collection for years on end, so they'll have to stay in the family home until I settle down somewhere permanent.My collection consists of: loose & MOC/MIB of all 4 generations, plus customs (sculpted and painted)... As well as fakies, MIB Sweetie Pups and Monster High dolls.I'm thinking plastic tubs but I need details... Any advice is greatly appreciate!- Do I wrap ponies in acid free tissue paper? - Should they be loosely packed to avoid warping plastic?- Would chucking some silica packets in be a good idea to soak up moisture?- Can MIB ponies stain other boxes? - What's the best way of storing MOC? - Will being in the dark damage them at all? - Should I expect to find more age spots and such each time I check them?Gah, I feel so ignorant, please help me
