[ARSCLIST] Question Regarding the Preservation of Acetate Records

[Bob Conrad <bob618@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have recently acquired a large collection of 16" radio broadcast 
acetate transcription discs dating from the late 1930s to the early 
1940s. While most are in excellent + condition, there are a few Sinatra 
broadcasts from 1943 that are beginning to flake around the edges. Two 
of these disks are pretty bad and the flaking has actually reached the 
grooves.

Is there any possible way to stop these discs from flaking? Is there a 
spray that can be applied, or any sort of technique that will save these 
transcriptions from complete deterioration?

Thanks for your help and assistance.
