We have used sprays to neutralize acid found in newspaper since I started working here in 1988.
Back in the day we used Wei'tu (sp) and then moved on to Archival Mist ($$$ & clogs a lot).
Now we've tried "Make it Acid Free" (in United catalog- seems to work).
Of course newspaper is GOING to yellow and short of doing tests over several years can we really know if any of these sprays work???
We tell customers about the inevitability of yellowing but we should do something to slow down the process.
