Bingo!! JR!! Thank you.
Right or wrong, we all have our different ways of dealing with Foxy
Brown spots :-D
I try to balance UV and CT to make the process less traumatic to the
paper.
What about UV/SUN fading the poster?? Here's some food for thoughts.
What would our wonderful hobby look like if a poster fades in a day or
two??
Have a great weekend everyone.
Sincerely,
Dario.

I think Dario is saying that because of the UV effect, he can
use a more diluted bleach solution and therefore leave less residue and
incur less long-term damage from the diluted bleach. The article he
sent made it pretty clear that some damage will be inevitable with any
amount of bleach. But it's important to note that most paper is made
with bleach to begin with -- that's what makes it white. Paper in its
raw form tends towards being gray to brownish, depending on the wood
pulp used and the cotton added (called "rag content ) -- if any --
during the manufacturing process. But bleach is what is used to make
common paper white. Exceptions are things like rice paper, but the type
of paper used for most printing has some bleach in it from day one.
So, I think killing a problem like a fungus -- which can grow
and get worse over time -- by adding a tiny amount of additional bleach
to the paper (in selected spots) is a good trade.

So bleach will not harm the poster as long as it's a mild
solution?
Thanks
Kirby, Thanks Susan,
I guess there is a lot of thoughts about Foxing, somewhat a general term
for Fungi or Ferric oxide.
I treat them both with no respect.
We all have our different ideas what works well, wich is fine.
I always used this old paper restoration trick ( UV ) combined with a
mild Bleach bath. I can see the magic happening in front of me, it's
fantastic.
Hey!! did you guys know that most large paper tanks like Museum,
Libraries and Archives use UV beams in their air ducts.
Very powerful beams that acts like filters, it will zap air born
particles like mold mildew dust, anything that flows through that could
be potentially harmful to paper, crazy huhh?
Best,
Dario.
