I don't think heat or flammability is the problem--it's the release of acetic acid when the acetate film is exposed to humidity. And yes, the sheet used in framing is polycarbonate, but the original question was about acetate film, which is a different material. But I certainly agree about the advantages of protecting lace from dust! Nancy
