It's a bit expensive, but the foil-backed frame-sealing tape does adhere
well to raw wood. Just forgotten the brand now, but it's illustrated in
the UMS catalogue. The metal provides the seal and the paper coating is
acid-free. The tape is thin enough to be nearly invisible. You might
even get two slats per length of tape.
