: My WFF are easy to clean because I keep them all in
: Beanie Baby boxes, thanks to a tip from Pam
: Parsons at the very first Mouse Expo I attended
: back in 1998. I was momentarily aghast, then
: mightily impressed when she turned the box over
: and none of the mice crashed: They were fastened
: with QuakeHold. I decide that was the way to go.
:
: Not only do I keep my WFF in boxes, but the boxes
: are stackable, so when I need to dust, I just
: pull out an entire stack, dust off the top of the
: top box, then dust off the shelf, put the boxes
: back in, and they all fit (how about that! :-)
:
: I have a few other collectibles in the same curio
: that are not in boxes, and they are a pain to
: dust, just as nancevan related in her post: Take
: out each one, carefully dust, dust the shelf,
: then try to put everything back in (good luck!)
:
: I realized that part of the reason dust got into
: the curio was because there was an air gap all
: the way around the (wooden) door, so I got some
: foam weatherstripping tape from my local hardware
: store and put a strip all the way around the
: door. You only see the foam tape when the door is
: open, and now a lot less dust can enter. You may
: not be able to do this if your curio is all
: glass.
:
: One of these days I'll get around to marking each
: box with a unique identifier; then I'll be able
: to locate any WFF in my collection without having
: to hunt (and hunt and hunt...) If I'm smart, I'll
: use ordered pairs in a Cartesian coordinate
: system to id the boxes...but then that would be
: too easy.

: I have over 300 pieces in an enclosed curio but
: they still seem to get dusty. Do I have no choice
: but to move each and every piece to dust in there
: or does someone here have a better method they
: can share? Thanks so much for any suggestions!
