Dear Shelby, that Jack ❤️ he must love those patriotic covers also 🤣. PS: Got me a big mat finally from Amazon! I’m back to school now and really trying to find time to work on a book. I have the same steamer! And use a rod like you with the srp paper. Great idea on the cloth hanger though! Great job!
Thanks for sharing your steaming process Shelby! Was there any reason you decided against an aqueous bath? Just a risk assessment against color fading or something?
Yes, that was part of it - concern over the light blue ink, but also, it really did not need a full bath. The book was not that dirty, nor much tanning.
@@ShelbysComics That makes sense. I was wondering about the conservation aspect as much as the cleaning aspect, but I suppose if the paper doesn't seem particularly beat up or brittle that goes into the risk assessment of a bath as well.
