another piece in the puzzle, thanks for showing the salon care 40 in the other video, that stuff is so good, and now showing the importance of wiping off with distilled water after each application, to be truthful I am getting less color loss with just using the hair touch up peroxide. especially on the delicate structure of some of these 1963 books. before the comic bag everyone stacked their books and evened the pile off over and over when taking out to look at the collection. the more times wet the more opp for those rough spines to split. so important to scope out the whole structure of the book before starting but you know thanks a bunch
Just started my first book using this method...i wanted a refresher so i'm watching it again and i'm glad i did because i didn't use immacuclean in-between i forgot about that step, but it seems to be working i'm trying it out on a water stained comic i haven't had time to do it just for foxing that will be next... but what i did do is my box i use to cover the lights i lined it with aluminum foil to reflect the black light better not sure if that really does anything but i figured it can't hurt.. i got that idea from seeing a uv "purse" for sale that you put your keys and stuff in for women and it has a light that you click on when you're not using it to kill germs buti noticed the inside was all a reflective material so i thought why not use that idea
Can you do interior pages like this? I came across some older Amazing Spider-Man comics from an attic find in not to bad shape, but had some water damage and discoloration.
What % peroxide solution are you using? 3%, 10%%. Also, do you have a link for your UV lamps? I'm assuming it's blue spectrum? I like your method and want to try it myself. That's why I'm asking the questions. Much appreciated.
Hi Big John. Question I have a comic that has heavy foxing and I am trying your technique and works great but since the foxing is dark, will this eventually clear up if i keep at it or will the results not be 100% removal of the foxing. Don't want to over do it if I don't need to. Great demonstration thank you
So I bought some old 1990's books from my local store out of the dollar bins, the pages where very yellow when I bought them and I was disappointed as I didn't open the book at the store, well this was maybe 2 years go, I opened the books today after keeping them stored in my box and the pages are all white now? Can someone explain this to me...How did my pages turn back to white? I don't know what I did?
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong I've tried a few different types of Lights even followed the link that is provided bought the lights off Amazon I get zero results I even made a light box to contain the light I still get zero results leaving in there for even a full day makes no difference.. even used the peroxide
Cool process. Can’t wait for the results.

This is really good stuff Big John, I anticipate the results!
I'll send you a pick. I took it 3 hours into the process, I estimate it will take 3. The edges were quite Tan.
@@thecomicbookundergroundllc3506will you post results on TH-cam or instagram bud?
I have a black light flash light (for detecting restoration) will this give UV rays to remove slight mold on a comic interior?
Where did u get the uv lights

Was wondering same and if for interior pages you can use a black light flashlight to lighten or kill mold ?
The third liquid you used, not the peroxide solution and not the distilled water but it sounded like you said “magic clean“. What is that?
I've got a Marilyn Monroe magazine I've been trying to sell with the page 3 error 1 of 2500 first edition playboys anyone know of any collectors
Where did you get the lights? Thanks.

Where do you get magiclean and Ub lights

Thanks for the video John. Quick question: what does your peroxide mix consist of? Cheers
40% peroxide / 60% distilled water (min 7:29)
This is poor wording. What initial concentration peroxide are you using to make your 2:3 ratio peroxide and distilled water?
@@BrianClarkpharmd If you look online there are many sites to show you the math. Pretty simple. Even I can covert it. lol
Does the UV light at all effect the darker colors or does it just brighten whites?
How did it turn out?

Can you use 3% peroxide?
It won't do anything really unfortunately. You don't have a Sally's anywhere?
Just like teeth whitening..you need a stronger peroxide…
Does this process make a book fall under restored of you send it in to CGC?
Usually no. If you over did something or it’s super white but you also pulled an area of color..possibly. It just has to be overly evident.
What's the peroxide mixture?
40/60 di water.. Got it
Hi. What UV lights are you using? When I searched, there were different kinds with varying weights
There is a video on all the stuff I specifically use and the lights are on there.
@@thecomicbookundergroundllc3506 Found it Big John. Thanks again. I subbed, as well.
