How can you get photo tabs removed from a card?
Posted By: Josh K.
Does anyone know if the black phototabs (which have apparently become stuck to the cards) can be safely removed (and if so, how)? The auction listing states that the cards can be removed from the album, but that trying to remove the tabs from the cards will likely cause damage/tearing. I apologize if something like this has been covered already. |

Test to make sure it's water-based glue. |

Josh - if you would prefer, you can mail me a card and I'll test it for you. I've done this for other board members. Fun for me, free for you. |

Soak them off is correct. Soak the entire card or page, tamp dry then put in between a thin cloth and 2 heavy books for a few days to dry. |

Actually, there is no mystery - the listing states that they are from the 120 series. |

The typing paper gives perfect results. My guess is there is a chance that the cloth could leave extremely small bumps - cloth is not perfectly smooth and we are talking about drying wet paper pulp. |

After looking at the scan,and the paper the cards have been attatched to,I wouldn't be surprised if you have some "acid burn" on the backside of cards.If so,I would suggest keeping them pressed between two sheets of PH neutral matbaord.This will take a while,but the acid that has migrated from the mounting sheet will migrate back to the more neutral paper.These matboards can be bought at any reputable frame shop.Make sure you ask for museum quality,PH neutral,white matboard.There is a difference between "acid free" and PH neutral. |
