Ahem! If it "stinks a bit", it almost certainly contains chemicals
destructive to your photograph.

Now maybe I have missed something over the past few years, but the last time
I checked, there was no such thing as a spray-on-anything-at-all that was
"good" for the longevity of photographs. Neither was there anything that was
only non-destructive. Spray glosses, spray mattes, spray adhesives, have all
been around for decades and have always been trash, unless of course you
guys know something I don't. I am always willing to learn. (But I also
remember that the makers of magic page photo albums suddenly announced one
day that their products were no longer loaded with acid and severely
destructive of photographs... They were lying, of course! Have the makers of
spray on photo destruction recently made a similar announcement?)

Manufacturers' ridiculous claims notwithstanding, has there been any
independent research by any trusted body that says any of these products are
at all safe? If so, please provide me with a reference.

If not, c'mon guys, you've gotta be nuts to put this worthless unpredictable
garbage on photographs you care about.
