    Calcium Hydroxide bath recipe:
    Mix up the following super concentrate formula in one container then dilute that in a 1:4 ratio with warm water for the bath. I heat the water to 140F to ensure the powdered calcium hydroxide is fully melted into the mixture.
    2 grams of Calcium Hydroxide (about a 1/4 tsp)
    1 liter of water
    .5% by volume Triton-X (about 5 drops)
    Cheers!

    Larry in addition to being a talented conservator, you have a great eye for picking interesting projects. Great video! I think concurrent aqueous bath plus blue LED photobleaching would have been my go-to technique here.

      Thank you, Dr. Paul! Yes, this was a suggestion that one of the channel viewers tossed at me and I thought that I would take a shot at it 😊

    Saving the paper inner sleeve is a waste since almost all lp collectors would throw it away and replace with a new antistatic sleeve. But appreciate your expertise.

      Thank you! I am strictly a comic book guy. This is something that one of the viewers asked me to try so I picked it up off of eBay fairly cheaply. Definitely an interesting project.

    Fantastic video! I want to attempt this, but I admit I had a panic attack at the 10 minute mark. Thankfully this album is a later pressing and not very valuable. 😅

      Yes I was corrected that it is not the 1964 album since I only paid $35 for it. I figured it was not the valuable one.

    It was interesting to see your technique and the results. But for what it is worth that is not an original pressing of the album and is from the late 1970s.

      Hey, thank you for the clarification! I’m not a record guy. I don’t know my albums and I don’t even own a turntable! 😂 It was just something that was tossed at me as a project but thank you for the information!

      It's better to try it on something like that rather than an original anyways.@@FlyingLComics

    What I really need to know is how to remove the stains left by cigarette smoke. My entire collection is brown. Shame on me.

    • @FlyingLComics
      @FlyingLComics  3 місяці тому

      Ouch! The only thing I know to remove cigarettes stains would be hydrogen peroxide which acts as a catalyzing agent and then place it under a 450nm blue LED. That should whiten everything up.

      If you don’t have the blue LED already look on Amazon and they have one listed under grow light, but it must be pure blue no ultraviolet so you’re looking for something in the 440 to the 460 nm range. Hydrogen peroxide by itself Won’t really do much you’re going to need that blue light
