Hi Steve,
Thanks for the tip although it turns out the Permacel J-Lar is not acid free.
I just found some of the Scotch Acid-Free Conservation and Preservation
Tape #888 on Amazon. Supposedly it is not produced anymore but from what I
understand it is the same tape as the Scotch Photo and Document Tape
#001. Unfortunately I can only seem to find that sold in the little
disposable dispensers. There is a conservator doing research on a lot of
tapes at the Canadian Conservation Institute. I probably write to here to
find out if she has any other suggestions. If you are interested I can let
you know what I learn.
Again, thanks for your help.
Ben

I am packing several works on paper for shipping. They are framed under
Tru-Vue Museum Glass. Normally, I would tape glass for shipping (they
are prints, not pastels or charcoal), but this glass has a coating on
the outside to eliminate reflections. Does anyone know if this glass
can be safely taped with low-tack glass skin tape?
