Watch because of the Fantastic Four. You made this seem easy, but I I’m time, supplies and others costs require considerably more from someone to do this. Fantastic results! 👍
Hi Dr. Paul. I enjoy your videos and I am constantly learning a lot. I do have a question, and I hope you can provide some insight. I performed 4 aqueous baths using your methods with mixed results. I was really pleased with the results of two of the baths. The other two baths completely removed the gloss and some color on the front and back covers. There was also a white residue (powder like) remaining on the books after drying for 24 hours. I believe my Calcium Hydroxide solution is too strong but I am using the proper ml's for each wash. The covers also felt softer and a little brittle. Is there a way to reintroduce gloss back to the comic after the aqueous bath? I am also thinking of performing an aqueous bath with 500 ml of warm water and 5 drops of Triton X-100 only, and then repeat only with warm water. Would that be a recommended approach as well? I appreciate it. Keep up the good knowledge. Thanks, Jon-
Jon, thank you for the kind words. Sorry to hear you had some unfavorable results. Can you give more specifics about the exact solutions and conditions used, timing, and the specific comic books so that I might be able to help you troubleshoot your process?
@@DrPaulKosnik Hi Dr. Paul, Thanks for the fast reply. Below are the steps I take for the aqueous bath. I did not perform the steps for resizing though. I create a comic sandwich between two polyester fabric sheets and rock the solution at the 3 minute mark 3 or four times. The bath lasts for 5 minutes for 3 washes. Below are the solutions I use for each wash. Wash 1 Wet Clean and Deacidify • 400 ml Warm Water • 100 ml Saturated Calcium Hydroxide • 5 Drops Triton X-100 Empty out tray and perform Wash 2 Wash 2 Wet Clean and Deacidify • 400 ml Warm Water • 300 ml Saturated Calcium Hydroxide Empty out tray and perform Wash 3 Wash 3 Wet Clean and Deacidify • 400 ml Warm Water • 300 ml Saturated Calcium Hydroxide The two comics that had unfavorable results were silver age comics, Tales of Suspense #96 and The Amazing Spider-Man #62. There were two that I considered successes though. Amazing Spider-Man #72 and Thor #138. I must point out for each wash that I performed, the inside covers for each book looked amazing especially considering that there was quite a bit of staining/tanning on each book. Thanks, Jon-

The amount of gloss after wiping with the dry & wet cotton round is amazing!
