I also like the idea of using Armour All to help
protect the plastic.

My antique buddies (those that collect and sell, but
are not antique, ... well maybe... say never use Armor
All unless you are trying to deceive. It will create
the allusion that the plastic is fresh and flexible
but because of the solvents will result in a more
brittle older plastic with age. Certainly, I would
think that putting a volitile solvent in a sealed bag,
with something that you value, for a long time is a
bad idea.
