Title: Sticky Mint Set Wallets
Post by: petpat on March 04, 2017, 03:57:12 PM
I know this may have been brought up previously but has anyone come across a way to clean/fix sticky RAM Mint Set Wallets.
I have about 15 different sets that are mildly sticky to very sticky.  I have removed the coins so they don't get problems but I would like to have the wallets. :scratch_one-s_head:
As always your replies are appreciated.

The dreaded PVC cancer.

Coins are probably ruined, but you can try soaking in Acetone, then RP7. Rinse in warm soapy water. Don't rub, pat dry.

BURN those folders! :diablo:

OK, don't want to throw them away? Seal them in a plastic bag, preferrably Polypropylene. Keep it well away from your coins.

Evil, evil, EVIL stuff. :(

With most of the astute collectors that are now well aware of the problems that those nasty PVC wallets cause , Why on earth would you want to keep those pieces of garbage.:angel:

Same reason they keep samples of foot and mouth virus and other nasties?
