Default Should I Soak This Off???

Posted By: fkw

If it is just a heavy crease and not 2 pieces already....Id soak it, if it is torn in 2 I might not. The Scraps are actually easy (IMO) to soak from album pages. I have done about a dozen in last 5 years. This one might be tricky because the damaged area might get worse. PS I sometimes dont complete soak the card and paper back in water, I will cut it out first then with the Scraps side down dab the back until the paper is complete wet then start taking the flaky scrapbook paper layers off with tweezers. Sometime the whole piece comes off in one easy chunk. I just removed scrapbook paper from N28 Comiskey in 1 minute, and it came out perfect. Some of the 1880's pastes/glue they used was water soluble.
