the perils of bubblewrap

[jmurray01]

I suppose I'm just too circumspect! I have never been the "have a go and see what happens" type, I always have to be sure it'll work out before trying something.

Maybe some day I'll try and change my ways!

Bubble Wrap and finishes.

In a somewhat related vein, bubble wrap should never be allowed to directly contact any finish IMHO. Destroys guitars as easily as it destroys vacs.

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">That's why I use crumpled newspaper or styrofoam peanuts first then put bubblewrap after packing the item(s) with newspaper when I ship the merchandise I sold on eBay.</span>

I don't think Plastic of any kind is a good idea for wra

If you think about plastic,its like putting your fave thing in a bag to SWEAT!
it creates condensation and the item, be it a Hoover or anything else needs to breath

Metal doesn't take too kindly to condensation i think, I am not an expert but things need to breath.The idea is too keep the dust out only.

Painted surfaces also need air and i think that's why in the good old days things were covered in cotton sheets for long term storage.Always natural materials.

I cant think it can do well on electric contacts either or windings in the motor getting subjected to condensation.

Condensation is going to happen due to the continual temperature changes on the outside of the plastic wrapping.

Styrofoam can also leave-

-a layer that sticks to rubber.That is why Elux tanks that did not sell on demo were to be put in plastic bag first and then the styrofoam packing was put on ends as it went in box.These bits can be removed with rubbing alcohol,etc if seen at cordwinder and front door.

Wouldn't storage in a dry basement (with a dehumidification as needed) be better than attic storage? I thought heat was harder on vacuum cleaners than cold--albeit neither extreme would be good for long periods of time.
