| Tiles |
Never store in plastic bags it causes
chemical changes that you won't like at all. It is still okay to ship
little packages of tiles in zip-locks, just remove them as soon as
possible.
If you are a collector, please open the cases from time to time and
let these little tiles "breathe".
Never store near heat!! |
| Cases |
Oil those hinges and latches - actually oil
all the metal parts including the little nubs that protect the case,
it helps protect them from rusting.
Your oilcloth "faux alligator" case can be wiped with a damp
cloth if you spill on it.
Restoration -- please don't take these cases to a shoe repair or luggage
repair place, they will add tacky handles and stupid hinges. Take them
to an antique restorer.
If you think you would like to tackle the restoration on you own case
follow this link for step by step instructions.
