Hanging unframed cels...
I'm looking into the possibility of hanging some of my cels on the wall. Thing is, this is a temporary thing, and I don't want to frame them. Is it possible to tape them using an acid free, scrapbooking tape? I don't want to use pins. Or is there some other way to do this?
If you wish to hang them like that I would suggest you place the cels inside a cel bag and the tape or pin the bag to the wall. Do not place anything directly on the cel that might damage it.
Poster frames at walmart cost only 10 bucks and you can put up to 8 cels in them but leave them in there bags so they don't stick to the plastic.
The air in your room is full water and dust that will stain your cels if you leave them open to the air so cover them or lose them.
10 bucks is less than one cel.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I was going to cover them, but I will look into what you said :D
I'm a bad cel mom, aren't I?
No your not a bad cel mom.
You cared enough to find out the best way to do what you wanted to rather than risk damaging them.
The only dumb question is the one not asked.
Do remember to keep an eye on the environment you display them. Direct sunlight or overbright lights can hurt cels due to heat more than UV rays. Also if you have cats make sure your display area is where they can't get close to them (Long sad story)
Best of luck.
