Big Shot 5 Member Since: 12/18/11 Posts: 247	I know a bunch of post have been made separately pertaining to posters, tubed, stored, framed, etc. but what should the process be from buying to storing to framing? My poster arrived then what? What should I do to protect the the best? Leave in tubes? If so how long? Do I frame them right away? What if I don't have frames? Flat file? What's the safest way from start to finish?

MartialArtists Member Since: 4/10/12 Posts: 15	is it ok to store multiple posters in one tube? Okay to lay them ontop of one another? I think even if poster is not in direct sunlight, any light still can damage it just not as much as direct sunlight. Kind of like the way people can still get a sunburn even on a cloudy day. I think it would take years for some fading to take place. You have ignored this user.

grizz632 196 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 5292	Just make sure there's nothing on the back of any of the posters, like tape residue or anything else that could rub off on the one below it, before you stack and roll them You have ignored this user.

Pimp! Come on man! Wtf!?!? Lol. Get mind out of freaking gutter! I'm just saying, wrap them up around each other. How do you keep them from unravelling? 20 of them would create quite some pressure to be wrapped up with out snapping what's holding them together, rubber and etc. so I'm asking, if you take them in and out, how do you prevent them from suffing up inside when you pull them in and out of tube. Mmamatch!?! Wtf? Serious? Lol. You have ignored this user.

Ice Cube - 20 of them would create quite some pressure to be wrapped up with out snapping what's holding them together, rubber and etc.  personally I would wrap it up if it's with an unknown casual chick... as far as posters... I have never wrapped any of them to store them. Laying the tubes flat or even on end is fine as long as you have all of the edges lined-up. I have stored posters in tubes for over 10 years and never have any issues with damage. Almost all damage is caused by handling (in general). When 4" tubes became annoying, I switched to buckets. If you were to stand where that picture was taken and look right you would shit yourself at thesight of buckets and buckets full of posters. I always crack-up when I go to the storage units... yuuuuuuuuuuup! You have ignored this user.
