Re: arsclist polypropylene and tyvek liners

[Jerome Hartke <jhartke@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jewel cases are best for many reasons. You have discovered one of them.
Another is that surfaces are suspended such that they are protected from
damage, and debris is not pressed into the plastic during storage.

Tyvek sleeves are acceptable for short-term storage, but should not have
plastic windows. They are not suitable for archival purposes.

I do not understand the meaning of your term "bronzing."
