Updated cost list for those just starting down this road. As mentioned above, items such as Albrecht-Durer pencils, digital scales, pneumatic staple guns aren't necessary. I've so many posters in my collection, I'm in it for the long haul. I t…

Next up during the learning process is to deacidify and perhaps bleach a "throwaway" lobby card (LC).
To start, I think I've read everything related on this site approx. three or four times. I've also used/ followed guidance via some o… -
Finishing this one up. If you're following, this one was more about mixing and applying wheat paste and taking my first stab at the paperbacking process. As expected, I learned a lot during the process. Thanks to those who chimed in! Overall, …

(Quote) What "knife" are you using in the first video to remove the entire Holytex/ mulberry/ lobby card from the mounting board?

Beginning the restoration pic below. The large amount of paper loss is creating color application problems. The rough, exposed paper makes watercolor pencil application difficult. The pencils "catch" on the rough paper fiber and create an even r…

LOL....Slightly warped. That said, the 30gsm Mulberry did provide a much stiffer backing than I thought it would. I can see how paperbacked posters would be tricky to shipped rolled.

Nice. TY. This helps.
As soon as I attempted to lay the Mulberry to the poster, I saw the method Charlie used was far superior. That's why I mentioned I'll use Charlie's method the next time I try this.
I'm fortunate I hav… -
Drying question: At this point, do you simply keep the poster exposed to air until dry?
Place another piece of Mylar on top of it and weigh it down with books or weights?
Use a fan to circulate air?
Any humidify … -
For those interested, today I used a 5mil Mylar sheet as the foundation to paperback this 1967 Doors "Dance Concert" poster. This poster is not the original first printing (before the show). This one was handed out after the show and in this case…

Thought I'd add a pic of the target of my first attempt. Lots of mold, paper loss and water damage but worse, to think I could have saved $0.50 if I had bought my ticket in advance instead of at the door!

Charlie pointed out I had two similar threads. I'll post follow-up here. The other thread asked to post pics of recent acquisitions among other things so I may have rambled on a bit (Zep pun intended).
I mentioned I'd start by posting s… -
(Quote) You're right! I'm getting old. I had seen where someone asked to post some pics of recent poster pick-ups so I posted these.
Feel free to shut this thread down. I'll keep everything on the latest restoration post I start… -
I'm new to this and hope to follow in Charlie's (and others) footsteps.
I'll start out by practicing on "throw-aways."
If/ when I acquire skills, I'll work on some of these recent acquisitions. First is a 1968 French Grande… -
Thank you sir. Appreciate the fast response!

Recommended mylar thickness for baths? 2-mil? 4-mil?

Greetings,
I realize some things posted are getting a bit long in the tooth, however, if anyone has a video (or captioned pics) of wheat paste allocation to canvas/ duck and to Mesa, can you post it?
I'd like to avoid referenc… -
Hello all,
New here. I enjoy reading about the work you all have done.
I'm primarily a pencil artist but "dabble" in other mediums. I've been patching old 60s rock handbills together for years and also became an "OK" frame…
