We have some older volumes effected with red rot that we may have to move offsite soon. Given their fragility and condition, we were thinking of treating them before they are moved. I was curious if anyone has had positive experience or recommendations with any particular brands. I know that Cellugel and Klucel G are often recommended- any preferences or other possible products?

Blackboardmonitor - Satnrose, a long time bookseller, once posted that Cellugel was used by the best librarians. FWIW that is what he used.

I've used Cellugel a few times. I've used it on a few old books, a leather covered box, and the leather wrapped around the shaft of an old antique oar. It worked fine.
