Thanks, Mark. The poster is from 1958

So the real reason I got back to work on some posters was that my mom was over at my house a couple months ago and she saw what I was up to and liked some of the posters a lot, especially one of my polish posters. She told me to find her a nice post…

Hey everyone. I've been super busy but managed to do a couple things.Touched up the BLIM and washed and mounted IHW. I don't have any before pics of INH but it was really yellow, the deacidification really helped. Im pretty ha…Now that I think about this. I suppose it's possible that it wasn't the Bestine doing anything at all. Maybe it was just the fact that I used a wet Q-Tip against wet paper? I just did this via trail and error. I had marker that I was hoping would c…Yes Bestine brand. Using a Q-tip soaked in Bestine, gently roll the Q-tip over the writing. You'll notice the Q-tip will start to pick up the ink. why it works this way on wet paper I have no clue. Like I mentioned before, too much and you remove to…I've used Bestine to remove pen, marker and a pastel or crayon. It looked more like crayon but I can't tell for sure. Technically it dosent only remove the ink it also removes some of the paper fibers. I have two backed posters that had masking ta…Here are examples of the snipe I was referring to. The first shot you can see how the Bestine was not able to remove it.Anyway, I don't want to hijack your thread any longer. Just wanted to show you an example.
I haven't had any problems with the tape removing some of the paper when wet. That's only happened to me working on dry paper. Removing the tape is the first thing I do after the initial soaking of both sides of the poster. I know it's ready when th…(Quote)
I had a snipe that Bestine wouldn't remove. Not even a little. After the initial soak, a steady hand, patience and palette knife removed the snipe smoothly. I do this for all tape now if I'm backing the poster. But yeah, you're …(Quote) Hi Mark,Are you bleaching both sides of the poster? The NSS stamps should come off cleanly during bleaching. I've never needed to sand those. They are pretty easy to remove actually.Only t…I was supposed to go for my run this morning but my knee was aching. The blonde girl on CNBC is really annoying.

Everything that could go wrong pretty much did.I didn't know how to lay the Masa, the poster was in such bad shape that it was separated at nearly all the fold lines.

I'm really happy for you. Just getting to the point where you can start your first poste…I only tell the hookers.Matching, getting things to match is whats been hard for me at least. Especially with glossy stuff. Most pre 70's posters aren't glossy and those are easier since you can use a wet brush with the watercolors to blend but it won't work on glossy sinc…Backed an addition to my Saul Bass collection. It was not that dirty. The paper had a little yellowing that came out pretty easily. There were some pretty deep fold lines, small paper loss and some pretty tough wrinkles. I've been working on touchin…Pretty good. Still working on the touch ups. Lots of glossy black, so I'm working on the fold lines still. Glossy is such a pain in the ass.I was actually going to take this weekend easy and not do any posters, but I have a OS that needs to be backed and you just motivated me to get on it.Hurry up on that studio budin The Ultra Amateur Linen Backing Thread Comment by racer59 February 2015
I have nowhere near enough paper to compete, but it'll be fun to watch.Hi, Ves!
Postermountain used a heat press on that Them! I don't know what it costs but but I'd guess it isn't cheap.
If the wrinkling inst too severe I'd think steaming would probably be the best route. I've never tried it myself though.

) Also decided to back my Five Easy Pieces Polish poster. Im happy with it. I noticed it was almost perfectly white after the bleaching but the second deacidification brought back a slight yellow tinge to it. Not sure why, but it still cleaned up pret…Worked on a couple things recently...trying to work on touch ups (bought a set of Faber Castell Albrect Durer Watercolor Pencils) to fix fold lines, tears, etc...Ma Nuit Chez Maud French One Panel, this sucker was a big one pan…Some really nice stuff you have there, Mark.
