Grade My DD168

I know you mentioned some sort of "artist bag" earlier. I recall something like that for drafting or illustrating on bristol board? Small eraser pieces in a soft bag that was semi-permeable?

 

Cough it up... if there's something more effective than Wonder bread but does NOT leave a disruption to the surface?

::sigh:: It is in the How To Spot Restoration thumbtacked thread...hold a sec...

 

 

OK - am back:

 

"Also, you ca get a "cleaning pad" - which contains basically very finely granulated white eraser substance in a small "pillow" shaped pad about 3 x 5 inches. You raise the pad above the cover and gently squeeze some of the granules onto the cover. Then very gently move the pad in a circular motion, often stopping and lifting to see if ink is being lifted."

 

A second technique is to again knead the shavings over the book and use your VERY CLEAN AND DRY bare hand to gently move in a circular motion over the cover. This also requires frequent checking to insure you are not picking up the inks but it is more difficult to discern without whisking away (with a very soft brush) the eraserlets and checking the color density.

Definitely. That mark is on every copy I've ever owned

You guys rock!!! I was stumped on what it really was.

Thanks.... 5 stars for those who helped. I'm preaty certain now this book is a NM–

[BronzeBruce13]

Thanks Pov... so cleaning pads would be at Art Supply Stores right?

Bill Cole supplies them and old POV has advised me that those are the ones that he has used in the past.

[BronzeBruce13]

Thanks Greg

Yep. A decent art supply store usually has a small section with such products, usually by Lineco.

Mmmm...now you tell me! I thought that you only used the Bill Cole products. I will search them out and try them out.

No, I usually use Lineco because they are readily available in stores. It is possible that is the line Cole sells but am not sure.

[greggy]

So...the brand is called Lineco?

Yes. They have a web site (www.lineco.com).

 

Here are their pads.

What's the approximate cost? How many books can I mangle with it?

[BronzeBruce13]

Thanks again... you may not get to eat it, but it sounds like something to try

[PovertyRow]

They cost about $7-8. You can do a LOT of comics with one. But remember to lay some paper etc under the book to catch the shavings. They can be pretty "all over the place" they are so cute and tiny.

ok, what about a shockingly tight 9.4-9.6 dd168 with these droplet markes on the back... The big mark is not water, it popped up when i adjusted the contrast to show the droplets along the top better

BUMP for advice on my back cover

When you sell it......don't post a BC scan.

I've been playing around with those small long white mechanical drawing erasers.

Maybe you should try that.
