Calcium Hydroxide bath recipe:
I follow Dr. Paul's procedures at Liberty Hill Comics with the addition of 1oz or 30g of 12% Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon of mixture.
Mix up the following super concentrate formula in one container then dilute that in a 1:4 ratio with warm water for the bath. I heat the water to 140F to ensure the powdered calcium hydroxide is fully melted into the mixture.
2 grams of Calcium Hydroxide (about a 1/4 tsp)
1 liter of water
.5% by volume Triton-X (about 6-10 drops)
1oz of 12% Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon of bath (This may form some micro-bubbles during the bath. This is normal.
Bath should first be tested for 5 min to ensure that there is no color loss or to strong of a mixture. Never more than a 30 min bath.
BLED exposure
I have tried multiple wavelengths of blue LEDs and I have found that 450nm-460nm works best at a 3hr exposure time followed by a 3hr dwell (rest) and a 2nd 3hr exposure. I no longer use a box with a blue LED. I built a multi-tier mirror chamber that can handle an entire comic (cover & wraps both sides) at a time. (Visit the Instagram for Flying L Comics to see it).
/ flyinglcomics
The Blue LED exposure will cause the paper to contract and dry out. Re-humidify it and put the cover or wrap into the heat press at 160F for 10min. Re-assemble the book. Re-humidify the assembled book once more. Re-roll/fold it then press as usual.
