The Incredible Hulk #114 - Cleaned, sealed and pressed!
Unfortunately some ink washed off along with the staining, but that’s to be expected with these older books, especially in areas with heavy attrition like that bottom right corner.

Check out dinner of my posts on #ComicPressing and #ComicCleaning for more. Square bounds are a little tricky but they can be done with advanced techniques!
Testing a new method for removing rust stains from paper. First I form a thin agar gel and soak it in evaporust. Next I place it on the rust stain and let it absorb whatever it can!
I’ll post some test results soon ☺️ #ComicSky #ComicCleaning #Restoration #AgarAgar

Thanks! Sometimes I do fine work with a chamfer board and tack iron, or I’ll use a ball bearing to roll out dents and dings, but at the end I humidify and hot press the books!
Check out #ComicPressing and #ComicCleaning for more of my process photos :)
