Was about to order a roll of Glassine and saw Barrier Paper

[essential]

I was on Blick and about to order a roll of Glassine paper and I saw "Strathmore Museum Barrier Paper" in their Papers/Boards section. It says it's made of 100% cotton and from reading this forum a lot it seems that is very good because cotton is not naturally not acidic (as opposed to things that are acidic but buffered to neutralize the pH ... I could be wrong, I've been reading this forum a lot and it all meshes together sometimes).

Would these be better/worse/no different for interleaving prints between foamcore than Glassine? My larger prints tend to stay between foamcore for a while so just trying to order the best thing I can get.

Sorry about that.

link would be nice

I use it in my flat file for that exact purpose. It does cut down on capacity though because it's much thicker than glassine.

The only advantage of useing foam core would be to give the print a straight splne to lay on, but if the foam core is buffered best not to let the art touch the foamcore. Buffered foamcore ranges quite a bit in its ph scale and quite often is not truly ph neutral If it was being used in a flat file glassine paper would do a fine job plus it is unbuffered , ph neutral and impervious to air and moisture and the added bonus of being see thru. If you are going to use foamcore for a period of time spend the extra money and buy museum quality foamcore that is unbuffered.. General rule in my crazy head is when ever possible use non buffered ph neutral on your prints and OG,s ,,,,they will thank you, but if it is just for a few weeks storage or flattening it would make no difference but save your cash imo. Ok this has worn me out, time for a spliff and count sheep.....
