Removing Paper from Ticket Glued(I mean taped) in Scrapbook

[Michael B]

Paul,

Yes a hairdryer could work if it is tape as Rhys suggests. I have done it multiple times with third party opionaters stickers. Using a pair of tweezers with a pointed tip, medical style with a slightly rounded tip or Clauss with a more needle point like a #3C, you can remove tape. Heat it to soften and use the tweezers to GENTLY pull up. If there is resistance the adhesive is not soft enough, but if it is soft you will be able to pull it up. It will not remove all of the adhesive, which has most likely been absorbed somewhat into the porous paper, but you will be able to see the back. This method has also worked well on SI Covers with certain adhesives, mainly 1970's-1980's.

Would I do it on that ticket. Probably if I determined it was tape. If it was glue I would see what excess paper can be removed without damaging the ticket.

Thanks for the replies, I will give it a shot over the weekend.

Good call on the tape Rhys, that's what it appears to be.

I know it may not go perfectly, but as long as the front doesn't get damaged that's the main thing, I don't mind it showing some tape, or even very minimal paper loss as long as I can get that scrapbook paper removed or most of it.

Thanks Mike I'll post how it turns out, Good, Bad or Ugly.

Looking forward to seeing the results of Michael's suggestion.

Good eye Rhys!
