Dear Restorative Mopos -
I picked up a number of one sheets (and other stiffer paper pieces) that were
shrink wrapped using black foam core board backings.
Each of the posters has a spot or two of some very strong glue added on the
reverse to “tip” or affix them to the backing -
So, one sheets with a dot or two of strong glue at edges on foam core.
Most often, I have been able to lift paper from an old glue spot, but this glue
won’t let go - my guess it came from a frame shop, but not one aware of
collector’s issues.
Is there a way that I can lift this poster at these spots by using some
particular chemical or technique?
Or is this the domain of a specialist in paper restoration? - Which I am not.
The posters are not very valuable - so an expensive technique or even pro
services might well be prohibitive.
Any thoughts on approach?
Thanks in advance for your time.
