Great video! Perhaps I missed it but how long did you let the page soak (and rock back and forth) in each wash? Is it possible to email or contact you regarding your vids?
The book I've been working on I've been hitting each page 50/50 with CaOH/H2O plus 5-10 drops of Triton X and rinsing thoroughly afterwards. But I think the surfactant isn't really needed on the inner wraps as there isn't really any dirt per se. I could eliminate the surfactant and thereby the rinsing step that isn't fun at all. I think I'll give the inner wraps the bath at 25/75 another time or 2, as in this video, and see how that goes. You didn't dry them in between? Not sure if I caught that. You just drained off the solution and reapplied a new solution? Keep 'em coming! 😊
Daus Haus, i agree with your assessment generally (unless there is specific soiling on the interior pages) and correct, no rinse in between. I hope your conservation projects are going well!
Where did you learn how to do this conservation techniques.Very professional work. 👏
Awesome video thank you😊
Excellent video!
Nice work!

do you think this will work on old banknotes?
@@adempozhari I’m not sure-I’ve been meaning to look into it though!
@DrPaulKosnik some of your tricks will work on old bankonotes for sure. Excellent videos, sir!
@@adempozhari looking forward to trying them out on some old bank notes I have!
Lots of work into that book. Meticulous job.
Thanks!
Anyone else chewing their fingernails to the bone while watching this? Scary
