Sure polyester is the most stable plastic support used for photographs at the
moment, but the usual BW-RC-papers like Kodak Polymax or Ilford Multigrade still
are on Polyethylene base.
Does anybody on the list want to do a small test, so we'd no more? Put a RC (PE)
print next to a FB-print into your UV-light source for some time and test for
brittleness then. I wonder what will happen.
