You should be paid handsomely for all the info you are bringing to the people 🙏🏼 thanks
It’s alot of fun 👍🏼
I've never cleaned my comics before and was nervous that I would mess up, but I really appreciate this video. Very well explained and now I feel like I understand the assignment much better. Thanks!
Really good video 🎉 thanks
This was the most helpful cleaning vid I've seen. Thanks.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad to be of service
I've been learning about cleaning & pressing comics all week and I can say that your video is probably the single best one I've seen yet. Thank you for making this, you have a new subscriber.
Thank you! And welcome 👊🏼
"in particularly" is hilarious
Sometimes you gotta just talk at the camera and let the smart people figure out what the hell youre trying to say. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks for making this detailed video, you do good work!
Thank you!
Seriously, good stuff
🎉 this helps out a lot
Nice cleaning techniques. Hadn't seen the micro-eraser before. Definitely going to pick one of those up 👍
Thanks! Yeah they are great!
I had no idea you could clean up a comic! Amazing!
I have that 221. Not the mark jewelers, but it’s one of my favorites. I would def be worried to try this on my own.
I will never do this on my own, but knowing the process is highly informative and this video is very educational with nicely detailed steps. Thank you for the video. Well done.
Thanks for checking it out!
As a question. Is it possible to press a comic that has a hand drawn sketch in marker on the cover? Would you advise doing so?
@@originaljk555 I’ve actually never done it, but I would think it is possible as long as you don’t use any moisture humidity and relatively low heat 135 to 140 max on the book. Of course can’t guarantee Press it your own risk. That’s just my thoughts on it.
More than likely, I will never do this! But, all the great information you shared in this video is for sure worth earning a "Tip", and a *New Subscriber!*
😁😁😁
Thank you Bjorn! I appreciate that
Amazing and informative. Thank you.
I use the immacuclean too. Have you noticed that it leaves kind of grainy film on the book. What if anything do you use to remove the film Thanks
Good video, I just don’t have this much time
Amazing! Thank you!
How do you address the spine roll and reset the spine and staples? Is it just by the magazine board at the centerfold?
I open the comic at center and press it and then reclose it correctly and press. You can steam it first . Small amount of water helps takes creases out better. Just the heat may not do that good. Very light steamer or mist bottle! Less is better. Test on cheap comics to learn. also set heat to 150 at most and time varies. 15 mins to 30mns , flip at 15 mins. to get both back n front sides. Amazing results. I clean lightly and carefully. Lastly make sure when pressing that book that the corners are not bent so not to add a CREASE. did that other day. Get lazy at times. ! Good luck!
nice job i learned something new today thank you
My pleasure
I needed this video!
Nice man! Glad it could help
Great video. Really informative. Thank you!!! I've been watching a lot of these before I jump into this part of my collecting journey. Quick question -- most videos I've seen, start the cleaning process with a makeup remover pad to get rid of the most obvious surface dirt first, then they jump into the absorine eraser thing... I noticed you didn't. Is there a reason for not doing it? Also how much pressure do you use with the absorbing thing? All the videos show this step from the top so its hard to see how much pressure you're using on the book.
Thanks for the feedback
Ive never really seen the need to start with the pad. The absorene sponge if you start light pressure and gradually ad more pressure will do the job. Of course you dont want to put too much pressure. Light to moderate pressure will do the job.
Does this work on Playboys? It's got some stains and some of the pages are stuck together
Paper is TEFLON sheets or rolls to cut to the size you want. They comes in brown or white. not sure the difference. I only ever got brown. Can you steam the creases lightly, saw a video a few years ago and they used steam. ?
Teflon sheets, pre cut from amazon. Brown. White may be wax paper
I use steam when the book is structurally more sound, the staple tares were too risky for this one. Steam is often used.
I'm brand new to this, have watched about 5-10 vids on cleaning and pressing and so far yours is the best. Question; I'm wondering if replacing staples can be done. It's my understanding if they see you tried to remove rust they call it restored. I collect Sports Illustrated/sport mags in case there's any difference you know of. Thanks
Replacing staples can absolutely be done. And yes, if they suspect that you replace the staples, they will call out restoration. Immaculate comics makes some tools that helps remove and reinstall them to limit detection. Their link is in the description of this video.
What is the difference between steel and aluminum for the plates? I have seen vids and no one explains
Aluminum is a better heat conductor and distributes heat more evenly.
Awesome work . Do you take orders for pressing comics or no?
Thanks! And no I only press my books outside of this one video.
Quick question my bro, with the Absorene sponge do you reuse it, and if so how often do you change it?
Once it starts getting too dark cut off an edge . Brand new surface area. See if you can find the COMIC HACKS VIDEO i did. It’s on there
@@paperchasecomics awesome, thanks bud! I’ll check for the video.
How much do you charge for cleaning/pressing paper chase 💪🏾
Man im currently only doing my own! But theres some great folks out there that do it for income.

I don't have the guts to do any of this stuff with my comics.
Its nerve racking even after hours of practice
Start out working on improving dollar bin stuff for practice. A comic book is a comic book.
Great video ! What you recommend if the comic comes out a little wavy afterwards ?
Thanks. Depends on the type of waves and year of book, but typically will call for an immediate standard press. I would let anything sit too long if it gets wavy. Could also be the book needs to be introduced to the HOT press quicker. If you to long of a dwell time after adding humidity this can cause a waviness on newer books
@@paperchasecomics thank for getting back to me. I’m typically pretty good with getting heat on the book after I use humidity right away. Books I’ve been pressing have been 80s-early 90s so nothing too new. How much pressure would you recommend using ? I know I shouldn’t be smashing it down
@@GladwellInvestments i just go by feel since each book is different, i slowly press the clamp down and if I feel like im having to exert too much force i just loosen the pressure and try again. Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 soft tries before it feels right.
@@paperchasecomics good advice. Thanks again !
@@GladwellInvestments no problem!
Take away cleaning, I had no idea the hours it takes to press just one book
Background music is so annoying
Thanks for the comment!
@@paperchasecomics I didn't notice.
I like it. I didn't even notice it til this comment.
