I understand this is the post war forum, but do you think this card would be a good candidate for soaking?
This card has alot of 'schmutz' on it... Next to his eye, all around really. Just alot of junk on the surface..

It really makes me nervous... But I'd take a stab at it. I'm a bit confused though about the amount of time to leave it in the water. In the "How to soak" article it says:

"Hold the card down with a finger or cotton swab and let the cardboard soak up the water for a minute or so"...
And then it says:
"You can leave the card in for a few minutes or up to several hours depending on the cardstock."

So I'm confused as to which it is... And which would one do for this card? Any guidance is much appreciated. thanks!
