Tracing Vs. Glassine Paper

Glassine is usually used for interleaving in stamp collecting, and in book production.

I doubt tracing paper could do much harm, but glassine is what's usually used in stockbooks and albums. For that reason alone, I would choose glassine.

Glassine paper is very smooth. So, as interleaving it is ideal, because it will not rub, or abrase the printing ink on stamps or book illustrations.

With tracing paper, you take your chances. It could remove some of the printing ink over time.

interesting!
what about clear films(see the link below)? are they recommended? if yes, Is there any special specification I have to use in order to meet the maximum protection for my stamps?

Thanks

Personally I wouldn't risk it, using anything non-standard should be considered an 'experiment'. If used, you should keep a constant watch on the stamps, pages and interleaves. If you detect any changes look, feel, or smell in them be prepared to make changes. Also note that the ambient environmental conditions can make typically safe materials less safe, avoid extremes in humidity and temperatures.

Lighthouse/Kabe use acrylic interleaving in their stock-books, as well as glassine.

Tracing paper becomes brittle with age and can discolour. I would stick with glassine paper or follow Geoff's suggestion.

Thank you guys for all these posts. Just have one more question, could any one tell from where I can buy glassine paper online? I searched for this product in my local stores but I did not find it! Maybe they call it with another names!

I have been doing some research on different papers that are available for a project I am working on. I think the main difference between glassine and tracing is that the glassine has some natural properties that is resistance to oil and grease and moisture. There is also a bunch of different release coatings that is also put on some glassine so be careful of what you are using.

If its just interleaving between album pages I think both would work well. I do agree that glassine would be a better choice. I would go with artist quality and acid free.

I found a very nice and interesting website, it called subwaystamp(http://www.subwaystamp.com). It has everything a stamp collector might need from stamp hinges to the highest quality deluxe hingeless albums. And I found the glassine interleaving that I was looking for with a very good shipping price compared to other stamp suppliers. Since I'm new in this stamp world, I was wondering what is the proper size of glassine interleaving paper for my album that I bought from chuyu-culture. Please see the links below:

I found many different types of glassine film that can be fitted to different kind of albums in " http://www.subwaystamp.com/Interlea...roducts/254/ " such as Scott, Minkus, Harris and Elbe. So, kindly could you please help me find my correct glassine film size that can fit to my album?
