Demonstration of Cleaning, Spine Tick Removal & Pressing Before/After Video of Omega Men #3 1st Lobo

[@CollectorAuctions]

Thanks for the tips. I've had good results in removing spine ticks without moisture so I'm looking forward to trying it with now.

[@toasty-toast]

I use the same technique, But first I touch the spine ticks with a minute dap of a moist makeup tab. Works well.

good stuff thanks for sharing!

[@danfoley2442]

Thanks for the detailed video. Impressive results, especially with the spine tics. I see the merit of steaming and wet cleaning the book with backer boards under the covers, as you ended up with very minor if any cover waves after pressing. I do suggest you turn the book around so the spine is on your right when you're working on front cover spine tics, since you hold the sealing iron in your right hand (as it naturally is when you're working on the back cover).

[@thecomicbookundergroundllc3506]

Thanks for the advice, after pressing no waving was present book was flat but not crushed from over press pressure, I don't like it when the book is completely crushed.

Awesome video and content. Do you do pressing and cleaning for the community as well? Thanks.

Cannot find that heating tool you're using anywhere I ordered a flat iron I'm going to try to see if that works

[@chrislong3086]

Just came across this great video. Have a press but have been thinking about adding an iron. Can you share the model that you use?

Looks like a hanger 9 tack iron

@@GPStuntMan Thanks appears you are correct

[@willsweetin2313]

Hey dude. Great vids. First off, what kind of iron is that? Looks like a soldering iron but I never saw a tip like that. And do you use humidity cambers

Do you run your iron on high or low ?

[@thecomicbookundergroundllc3506]

I run mine on high, remember never stop moving the iron.
