Exhibiting watermarked papers

In response to Terry Conners posting about exhibiting watermarked
papers I can offer a couple of points.  Fluorescent tubes do not
produce much heat themselves, though the starters can.  A suitable
design should keep the heat away from the papers.

You can probably save some money on your UV-filtering plexiglass by
wrapping the fluorescent tubes with UV filtering film (the same film
used for windows), held in place with sticky tape.
