I have a few books with rusted staples and rust migration in the paper, always wondered if I could get the rust out.

Such a helpful video. I'm just getting started in comic conservation. Do you have an email address to reach you with follow-up questions (particularly around the LED blue-lights, etc.)? Regardless, great job.

SOTI books - they were not necessarily used in the senate hearings but they were mentioned in the Seduction Of The Innocent book.

Can't believe I missed this upload. That really turned out great!!

Amazing work on the Batman 13, Larry. Really well done (despite the grader’s notes). I would do what Phill and Dr Paul said, bring the book with you to the conference.

Love this project! Beautiful comic book my friend, looking forward to watching your process.

Perhaps you can go through one of those "worm holes" and go back in time to when the book was in better condition! - Ha!

Very good start to a multi-series of uploads. Anticipating success Capt'n Larry!

I remember this from the Live show, Captain Larry! A very nice book indeed. Congrats on getting it and look forward to the series!

what weight is the tengoju paper?

01 TransAm nice! I have a 2000 TransAm WS6 6 speed manual with 28k original miles, Pewter Metallic. Love it!

Cool Gene Colon signature, I bet not a ton of those around.

Congratulations on some great comics Larry! Always loved that Wolverine book and jealous of the Iron Man & Submariner 1 with the Gene “The Dean” Colon sig! I would put it at least $750 on value. Where else are you going to find one?!

Hi Larry, it’s like Christmas in July! Iron Man and Submariner #1 is a keeper. A gorgeous signed book. I remember the Wolverine set 1-4 couldn’t sell for $20 at one point. Not any more. Congrats on these.

A couple of sweet books Capt'n Larry!

Great to see the leaf casting process. Would love to try that, but not sure I have the time to dedicate. Also, a great book - love those old Quality Comics.

Loved the peek inside the shop. Enjoyed watching the heated dry press in action.

What I really need to know is how to remove the stains left by cigarette smoke. My entire collection is brown. Shame on me.

Amazing first attempt Larry! Looking forward to seeing so much more from your casting table!

Great project as always Larry!

Excellent work!

Congrats on the great leaf casting job, Larry. Well done!

@flying L comics: Where do you find the Japanese paper? Thanks, Bill

Complex project using all your comic conservation skills, techniques, chemical solutions to maintain the original vibrant cover colors.

Enjoying this very much, thanks. 📚

Wow that turned out marvelous simply MARVELOUS!!!

WOW! Love the Lou Fine pencils on the Ray. Loved his sharp clean pencils like Bill Everett's. Marc Raboy and Jack King Kirby too of course. Beautiful colors still for a 83-year-old comic book. Looks incredible Larry! Great job!

Do you use old wrap edges as donor's for leaf casting??

WOW didn't have to wait long for the next upload!!!!

Awesome presentation Cap'n Larry!!! So happy you took that next step in conservation with leaf casting because it's so fascinating for me to watch right before my eyes the new life that is being fed into the books you work on!! Thank you for the great upload!!!

Larry, PHENOMENAL result. Your preparation paid off because your first attempt looks outstanding! Can’t wait to see more results from you and this vacuum table!

For a first go at it I'd say it was a tremendous success Larry. The vacuum table design was well thought out and performed exceptionally.

Promo sm 😔

Amazing work! Nice to see these Golden Age books get a new life.

Wow, amazing assembly work. I’m tempted to build one but I don’t have the space for one. I’ve been using sponges to suck any excess liquid and been working for me. Congrats on the wrap, great job, excellent video.

Impressive results

Cap'n Larry that is a beautiful addtion to your already arsenal of conservation tools and techniques!! Now i have ideas stirring in my head!

Looking forward to this Cap'n Larry

Beautiful patina on those staples sir. The light table worked great-much better than my old too-small 35mm slide viewer. It’s great that we build on each other’s work and keep refining our processes. Can you point us to your source for the larger light table?

Very nice! One of your skills is picking great projects Larry and this book is no exception.

Great project! The Legionnaires prank Superboy so hard he cries! Undervalued key and low census count to boot. Looking forward to seeing the results of this project!

Nice work Larry! Excited to see the end result.

Nice book! For what it’s worth those defects should definitely been in the grader’s notes.

How did you dampen the comic before the tear seals? What was your process? Thx

AMAZING 👏

will a grading company catch this process?

Saving the paper inner sleeve is a waste since almost all lp collectors would throw it away and replace with a new antistatic sleeve. But appreciate your expertise.

To reinforce the inner wrap spine area tears, are u using 5 GSM Japan paper or heavier weight?

Looks great Cap'n Larry!!

Turn the blade away from your fingers!! Is blood easy to clean?? lol
