Calcium Hydroxide bath recipe:
I follow Dr. Paul's procedures at Liberty Hill Comics with the addition of 1oz or 30g of 12% Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon of mixture.
Mix up the following super concentrate formula in one container then dilute that in a 1:4 ratio with warm water for the bath. I heat the water to 140F to ensure the powdered calcium hydroxide is fully melted into the mixture.
2 grams of Calcium Hydroxide (about a 1/4 tsp)
1 liter of water
.5% by volume Triton-X (about 6-10 drops)
1oz of 12% Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon of bath (This may form some micro-bubbles during the bath. This is normal.
Bath should first be tested for 5 min to ensure that there is no color loss or to strong of a mixture. Never more than a 30 min bath.
BLED exposure
I have tried multiple wavelengths of blue LEDs and I have found that 450nm-460nm works best at a 3hr exposure time followed by a 3hr dwell (rest) and a 2nd 3hr exposure. I no longer use a box with a blue LED. I built a multi-tier mirror chamber that can handle an entire comic (cover & wraps both sides) at a time. (Visit the Instagram for Flying L Comics to see it).

The Blue LED exposure will cause the paper to contract and dry out. Re-humidify it and put the cover or wrap into the heat press at 160F for 10min. Re-assemble the book. Re-humidify the assembled book once more. Re-roll/fold it then press as usual.

Great job with this book, and a universal grade is a testament to your clean work, Larry.
Thank you Peter!. Your compliments are always appreciated! 🤗
Universal label?! That's crazy. Well done!
Thank you!. Blue label is always achievable with what we do. Don’t let the rumors that it’s not possible enter the picture. 🤗
Phenomenal result Cap'n! I really enjoyed the recap with voiceover, well-presented. Now i guess i need to upgrade my copy of X-men 28. Forgot what a gem this one was.
Amazing work! You need to write a book so all of us can do it too. 😁
I’m not much of an author, but that is why I have this channel. I’m no professor, I’m just a guy and I’m here to show you how you can take your comics to the next level and do things yourself! That’s why I make these videos! Just don’t call me Bob Ross! 🤣
That was a really great bump! Awesome work!
Thanks so much!
