The Doctor is in.

My first attempt to improve the appearance of a card is complete and was successful. The card was from the early '50s and had a bit of staining. I tried soaking it in deionized water. On the first pass (of a half hour soak and dry using paper towels pressed by a heavy book, changed daily, over several days) about 75% of the stain disappeared. On the second pass, no apparent improvement was noted, however, the paper towel did become slightly discolored, so I guess that it had an effect. |

I am not sure that it is important, Josh. My thinking was that distilled water contains salts (I'm not sure if it's enuff to worry about) that could deposit inside of the card as it dries. To get deionized water, it is easiest if you know a person who has some association with a chemical lab (maybe a drug store could have this). |
