Here's the result of my PRESSING experiment

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Let me first state that I am not a professional . After seeing all of the other pressing/restoration projects shown on this board, I thought I would try it myself. This was my first attempt and I think it turned out good. I absolutely made a noticeable improvement on the book.

 

In this post, I will show the before images, after images, and some of the tools I used. Because of trade secrets, I can not show how I used the tools. Also, I purposefully omitted some steps.

 

First off, here's the book -> a Micronauts - The New Voyage, Feb 1986.

Here are some of the tools I used. Not all of them, though.

I'd show more pics of the "after" but the book is already on its way to CGC.

The book is heading your way. I hope I can slip it by as 'UNRESTORED'

 

Opps.... forget you read this....

I don't want to give too much away, but here's part of the process for 'pressing' the comic.
