*Hi Michael,
That is funny. Such a vocal anti Linen and restoration guy, now you want
to do your own restoration.
You need help ( no pun ) So please let me help you!! :-)
Pastel pencils are not cool. Please use water color pencils, like the
one's Sue recommended ( brand Prisma colors ) or you can use Faber
Castell Albrecht Durer my preferred choice for work.
Going over a rough fold might be very tricky not having the poster
backed and the folds made flush.
So you need to buy some archival Methyl Cellulose from lineco
http://www.lineco.com/item.cfm?itemnum=793-1001
Follow the instruction and ad another 1/2 of cellulose to make it really
thick. You need a small rectangular piece of Mylar and a fine brush.
Brush the fold lightly, lay the mylar over it. Use a burnishing tool,
apply pressure, walk the line, remove mylar, wipe excess Cellulose, let
it dry, color in.
Pretty easy stuff.
Best,
dario.

Michael, it appears like you're talking about...wait for
it...a */restoration/* process!
And we all know how you stand on that!
Maybe Dario could give you some tips, or better yet, just send it to him.
He'll get rid of that nasty fold line.
That's my suggestion, anyway.

any suggestions to minimize the distraction of fold lines on half
sheets and inserts?
i am talking about heavy folds.......... pastel pencils???
non-oil base, i assume???
(i have an insert of THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE, with a prominent top
fold. there are no images in the area; it is red/orange
background color with yellow letters.)
thanks
michael
