I've been thinking about putting my collection in mylar now. I've checked out E. Gerber and have decided to go with Mylites2. Now my question is what is the difference between the full-back and half-back backing boards? Is the only difference the size of it? Any ups or downs from full-backs and half-backs?
You guys are the specialists any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Question about mylars
Only difference between them is the thickness of the board (24 mil for half-back, 42 for full-back). This will affect the stiffness of the board.TravAzz wrote:Now my question is what is the difference between the full-back and half-back backing boards? Is the only difference the size of it?

I use half-backs with my mylars, they are plenty good. A half back is approx the same thickness as a regular comic backing board. A full back will be about twice as thick, if you want a REALLY stiff backing that is going to prevent any kind of bending.
