Another excellent tutorial episode. I continue to be amazed that you can handle the brittle paper multiple times and it stays intact. While it may be copyrighted, your T-shirt idea is great - it could say " Stay Calm and Rinse ". Always dismiss your critics, John Wayne had a strong saying about them - " Life is hard, its harder if you're stupid", a blunt ideology, however sometimes it is necessary to be blunt. Anxiously staying tuned for the next episode.

I too stop and pick up useful junk all the time. Most of the frames and displays in the Metacave are “rescued” from the trash.😁 Looking forward to these results.👍

Thank you Roger! I knew we were alike.

This is the most relaxing video to watch on a Monday morning. This really is an art that you are practicing and it is a joy to watch such a lovely book be preserved/conserved. I have been following along for the past couple of videos and the main splash page you have been working on gave me a sense of déjà vu and it finally clicked. The splash page of Flash #78 is reminiscent to the cover of House of Mystery #147 (Dec 1964). The similarities to the floating masks is remarkable - I would guess that Joe Certa the cover artist (HoM #147) must have read Flash Comics #78 when he was younger. Keep up the beautiful work and thanks for showing and patiently describing the process and effort that goes into this artistic passion.

Appreciate the kind words and support. Thank you! I am going to check out House of Mystery 147. Please enter my 2000 subscriber giveaway by commenting on the entry upload. Just follow the thumbnails. Thank you again and stay tuned!

The furniture glass panels have multiple properties I value. They are water proof, they are relatively smooth, they are thicker panels, relatively heavy, they are harder to break, and if they do break it is into bigger pieces and not small shards. They also make a pretty good cold press even without adding anything for weight. A couple of nice used coffee table books (oversized) also makes a good weight on top of the glass, and is less likely to scratch the glass.

Awesome video bud congrats thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you! Leslie’s pool store will test it for free. If you say it’s your pool water. Only kidding. They do it for me because I do have a pool and buy products from them.

Isolated leaf casting? Hot damn. Still on the lookout for viable glass .. time to check the free items listings.

It’s a labor of love. Off camera Michael I can do approximately five pages at a time.

Jerry the Junk Collector....JK. My friend up in Jersey would find all kinds of things on trash day. IPhones,IPads,TVS all kinds of stuff new in box. One person had a bunch of stuff new in package from Walgreens. He ended up going in and returning it for almost $75 worth of value.

Crazy isn’t it. Thanks for stopping by Jonathan. Stay tuned.

The paper may still be wet, but I can already tell that the paper has lightened from a brown to a light tan, I am assuming you are going towards that cream color that many of my GA books have.

100 percent. I feel if you go too far with the lightening it will look unnatural. Appreciate you stopping by.

what if you threw a fish filter system in there to filter the water as its cleaning?

That is definitely something to think about. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank you for this great upload, Jerry. Am I right seeing the Chloramine T fully dissolved in the water (unlike the calcium hydroxide). And are you using cold or hot water for the water bath? I’ve been using hot water for faster chemical reactions on deacidifying and lightening the paper color.

@jerrythejitterbugcomicbook4098

Жыл бұрын

Thank you Peter. For the bath I am using cold water. The Cloramine T dissolves in the cold water completely in my experience. The calcium hydroxide needs hot water to dissolve. I do not use hot water from the tank because of the impurities that may result from the hot water heater. I boil cold water if I need heat.

so,you threw an 8 ball in there???
