This thread is getting less play than a field trip by you Message Board nerds to a whore house.

 

 

God, I missed you.

I don't get all the hilarity. CBCA made it very plain in their original announcement and in the report that this was preliminary at best. They go as far as saying, in the report, that any conclusions drawn should be "limited to these individual books". But after reading the report I agree the results show that more extensive tests would be of value.

 

The Stretch test was particularly interesting. I think the possibility that pressing may have creasted new hydrogen bonds between the fibers is significant. Again being very preliminary, it DOES make some sense that the more supple BA book would not show the same effect as the much older GA book.

What is the standard increment used to measure evil?

 

I believe they are called RMA's.

I will get to it as soon as I am done reading it. Great story BTW.

Reading a comic automatically knocks it down into the 5.5 range. Everybody knows that.

 

Hope your press is industrial strength.

How is the line about reading the WD #1 at your expense? That's what made me laugh.

 

Wait, are you trying to reason with him? Here. On a chat forum?

 

:baiting:

 

I'll sit back and wait for the 34 page conclusion.

I've got no doubt that pressing causes extremely minor damage mostly because professional conservationists use it sparingly and because it just makes sense that heat leads to acidic breakdown just as when pulp is subjected to normal home temperatures that range from 50 to 100 degrees.

 

If we move forward with further testing, perhaps acidity is something we can add to the regimen.

 

There are the PH markers, but a lab would have something far more precise.

 

Good job on taking the first steps with this, Steve! Very interesting to read and I hope you guys continue with further testing.
