Default Soaking t205's to remove scrapbook residue

Posted By: runscott

Thanks to Bill for providing the raw material for this experiment. Bill mailed me two t205's and a t206, glued tightly to heavy scrapbook paper, with cards on the back as well. I tried a t205 first, and here are the results of soaking in lukewarm water (worked great!) The key is to be very careful and very patient, and don't worry about putting the card in water. I plan to do "before and after" scans of a t205 Bresnahan before totally endorsing this technique.

1. The more scrapbook residue you can remove prior to immersion in warm water, the better
2. When removing foreign material, be very careful or you will crease the card. I created light creases which were not visible after soaking and flattening.
3. Carefully remove any cards that are stuck to the back, if possible, as this will drastically increase soaking time.
4. Soak in a bowl of luke-warm water - time varies depending on amount of residue - the paper residue has to come off easily (use a q-tip) or keep soaking!
5. VERY IMPORTANT: Sometimes you can remove material, but glue residue (can be clear and difficult to see) remains - re-soak the card and rub off the glue residue, or it will stick to the drying paper
6. Soaking affects the print on the back if you aren't careful, but doesn't seem to affect the front image
7. Dry by placing between sheets of typing paper and rubbing the outside of the paper to absorb moisture - repeat until you can't see an affect on the typing paper
8. Place card within a folded sheet of typing paper, then place in a book and put loads of weight on top. 9. Leave overnight.

pretty much similar results and posted them earlier. This method will work with most any type of 'printed' card. That is anything with lithography I guess you'd call it. Don't try this with Old Judges as the actual photograph front will soak off the cardboard backing. The drying process also works putting the card between boards and using clamps. Have also put board/clamps/cards into an oven at about 150-200 degrees to speed up the drying process. Works as well.

because the black back is water soluable. Also, the black mack is on a thin sheet of paper, which may loosen from the rest of the card. You can take a soft cloth, wet it, and rub gently to remove scrapbook residue--as long as you don't get the black too wet.
