These videos are incredibly helpful. They are much more detailed than others and full of the little things others skip. Thank you for putting the time into making them.

Im using the absorene dirt eraser but it seems pretty hard on books. Is this the correct one to use and will it cause scratching? Any tips on how to use it properly would be appreciated as I canr find much info online.

Does CGC use magnification? Or is the grading by the "naked eye"?

How would you take off glitter glue some kid dropped on a book
@kaptainmyke2 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't attempt it. Glue is a complex chemical stain and adding glitter to it is another level of difficulty. If one were to try it, I suppose trying to melt the glue with a tack iron and srp paper with napkins might draw it up. That would depend on what type of glue it is, because some glues will harden instead of soften under dry heated conditions

Do Absorene putty and the eraser pad both work on Bronze Age comics up to 1983? I remember the note on the website saying to not use putty on modern age comics and was wondering if they were too close to that age with the glossy covers
@kaptainmyke5 жыл бұрын
Yes, the Absorene putty can be used all the way up to 2001. From 2002 I would be very cautious with those flimsy thin glossy paper interior and covers. The putty can be used most of the time on older books. For 2002 and newer I would stick with swiffer dry sweeper wipes, facial tissues, and a pencil eraser with absorene book cleaner pad.

What light is good at detecting color touch up?
@kaptainmyke3 жыл бұрын
UV Blacklight are good but they cannot detect all forms of restoration. You want to look for color bleed on the inside covers close to spine. This is only good for markers however. Map pencils, oil pastel crayons, and shoe polish do not bleed through covers. You want to glide your finger across spine to feel for any bumps and markings. No single method is the best way to spot all forms of color touch. You have to play a bit of detective work to detect color touch.
