Build sheets (is laminating a good idea)?
 

Just looking for idea's on preserving build sheets, is it good to laminate these, or is there a better way to be able to view these and not damage them any further, the laminate sheets I have are sticky and ounce they are done, they are DONE. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I would make a very good photocopy of it and then laminate that. I think if you keep the original tucked safely away, dry and out of light it should keep preserved.. I just don't like the idea of laminating the original because, like you said, once its done, its done...

I wouldn't. I'd either encase them in acid free vinyl or encase them in glass.

Archival quality sleeve and keep it out of the light...

I have taken high resolution photos of mine and then put them in a protective box and tucked them away in a safe (fireproof).

you can reproduce them with your computer, blow them up Etc. My concern would be once they are laminated how would you prove they were original???

You could scan it and then print it on a nice color printer then laminate it.
The quality of scanners and printers these days is pretty impressive.
If you dont own a scanner/printer im sure a Kwik Kopy or similar store will do it for a small price and they can probably laminate it too.
