I am totally blown away by your technique (surgeon-like) and your thought process. Thrilled to be able to follow your thinking and analysis. Thank you for sharing your work.
Love the work boss. I was in a similar situation with a X-Men #12 last week. Massive water stains on the cover and completely wavy. I used a 4% mix of Hydrogen Peroxide on the cover to remove the stain using the layover method with blue light. WOW it came out AMAZING. I did take tons of video and pics. The customer is fast tracking a 16 book order I just finished with a Tales of Suspense 39!! Im geeked out just working on such amazing books. Once they come back with grades ill be making videos of them. But thanks for all the tips and tricks you helped me on a few things so far.
I enjoy watching your process and thank you for thinking out loud. I think of 100 percent humidity in a book to mean cool to the touch, and just short of wet to the touch. What does 150 percent mean in your context? I also air dry any book where I have added humidity through out. Do you put books straight into the press after taking them out of the chamber? Great results. Did your worksheet correctly predict the CGC outcome?
CGC was a dice roll on this one but I was not to far off. To me 100% is my normal 4 min the the tank - 150% is 6 min in the tank. So percent my normal time not percent humidity
Great work! I’ve never submitted a comic for grading. I have a Hulk 181 that would benefit a cleaning before submitting. Do you all offer these services?
do you have a link that you might be able to share for a tool like that as ive been looking for one myself and havent had much look locating one. the few i have seen on amazon looked way to sharp to use and like you mentioned you dont want a sharp one that could possible rip through the paper. Also with the Blue overlay, in the book it mentions putting a new overlay sheet with peroxide every hour on the book. do you do that as well and consider that 1 treatment for those 2 hours or do you put 1 sheet on every hour for 2 hours and consider that 2 treatments?
And BTW... You are quickly moving up RUclips search to the very top for comic restoration... which is growing in interest by the day! Great stuff!
Thanks for the info!
One of the best cleanings I’ve seen for comics!! Great work!
Appreciated. Thank you

Ah, yes- the 2nd appearance of Wolverine.
At least we can all agree first cover!
It just depends on whether you own Hulk 180 or Hulk 181...😏
Great work! Very nice
🙏
Great video as always.
I appreciate that
Great job, loved the final outcome!👏
Why did not HOP the last page?just curious, i love the hop but i think it takes a bit of the gloss off..
You can spot hope inner pages. In my experience it tends not to provide as nice a result. Hop and spot hop can damage gloss. Try lowering temp 5-10
@@TopComicsPressing What temp do you recommend on a Hop method? Can I do anything on a fade cover?
Thanks🤝
@@gabesaquatics8495 nothing can be done for faded ink - a temp grid/table is in the book for hop
Amazing difference
Thank you

One treatment is one overlay and 2h.

I think that black spots on the back is fly/insect crap…. It can be scrapped off
Yeah some insect poo
The spots on the back are roach crap.
That would explain it
Why not hop the book?
I could have. I don’t think it would have helped the spots on top and I wanted to be carful w the surface damage and deteriorated back
