Legitimate questions and of course the main reason for the varied types of storage and testing. The whitening is a nice benefit but the main focus is longevity of paper and stability. I’ve done my own personal testing on artificial aging, lignin content, etc. Of course those results don’t hold much water in the public domain hence all the third party testing underway. The oldest test piece shows the same suppleness and fold resistance as when it was first treated, as third party results come in I will be happy to show them here regardless of success or failure

Lol, that is exactly what is going to happen to all books (or any paper items rich in lignin) over time without improvements in conservation science. 10 years of comic book and other paper artifact test subjects are still part of the research. Some raw and unprotected, some in various types of storage: Mylar, poly, slabbed, vacuum sealed. So far none have exploded😄

Hi, been busy and away from the boards for a while. While I have not tried the process on OA pieces I have used it on 19th century lithographs with good results. As with all conservation projects there would be some inconspicuous testing at the beginning to determine colorfastness of paper and ink type. Often there are pieces glued in place that may or may not complicate things a bit. Current state of affairs is spectrographic analysis by a third party laboratory to quantify exact amount of lignin removed and any other changes in paper chemistry
